How about this 'memcpy', this would affect both cpu loading

but that's not portable. Even if you come up with nice wrappers for system dma usage (which is already ugly, more exported functions) you might end up on a board where system dma has same alignment constraints as mentor dma. Either fall back to pio or use a bounce buffer. That'll work always.

Besides, the only offending gadget driver we have is g_ether and that's already 'fixed' by the alignment patch to g_ether. Any other gadget driver causing that, should be fixed too...
