 That isn't however what the patch addresses, not at least according to 
the description provided.

 How far beyond the data copied do we prefetch anyway, and can't we simply 
waste a page's worth of space or so at the physical end of each RAM area 
present in a given system?  Or perhaps use it for something we know for 
sure that won't ever be copied.
