In copy_to_brd() it uses kmap_atomic() call on the page in question to
create destination page mapping on buffer (dst), then it uses memcpy()
call to copy the data from source pointer onto mapped buffer (dst) with
added offset and size equals to number of bytes stored in copy variable.
Then it uses the kunmap_atomic(), also from :include/linux/highmem.h:
"kmap_atomic - Atomically map a page for temporary usage - Deprecated!"
Use memcpy_from_page() helper does the same job of mapping and copying
except it uses non deprecated kmap_local_page() and kunmap_local().
