This safety section says that a call mustn't race with a page that overlaps this read, hmmmmm.

If `src` and `dst` overlap then wouldn't that be a bad idea? If so then how about mentioning that callers have to ensure that `dst` does not overlap with the page that's being read and use `core::ptr::copy_nonoverlapping` instead, otherwise the doc comment could mention that `dst` can overlap.

Same as above
