Function memcpy_real() is an univeral data mover that does not require DAT mode to be able reading from a physical address. Its advantage is an ability to read from any address, even those for which no kernel virtual mapping exists. Although memcpy_real() is interrupt-safe, there are no handlers that make use of this function. The compiler instrumentation have to be disabled and separate no-DAT stack used to allow execution of the function once DAT mode is disabled. Rework memcpy_real() to overcome these shortcomings. As result, data copying (which is primarily reading out a crashed system memory by a user process) is executed on a regular stack with enabled interrupts. Also, use of memcpy_real_buf swap buffer becomes unnecessary and the swapping is eliminated. The above is achieved by using a fixed virtual address range that spans a single page and remaps that page repeatedly when memcpy_real() is called for a particular physical address.
