I probably misinterpreted the initial criticism on my first patchset, 
about duplication. Somehow, I'm still thinking to the endgame of having 
higher-level functions, like list management.

Is __wraddr() invoked inside wm_memcpy() instead of being invoked 
privately within __wr_memcpy() because the code is generic, or is there 
some other reason?
