I'm not really happy about it either. :-( Most of the complexity comes
from the corner case when one 16-bit word is divided between the copied
part and the rest - but I can't see a nicer way to handle it.
There is another option: in the case of truncated read, we could simply
take the first branch where copying is separated from checksumming. This
would be less efficient, obviously, but I must admit I have no idea how
much.

I believe that would work. I have a little bad feeling about such
solution as it would keep the function broken and just rely on not
hitting it in the case when it matters. But it worked that way for quite
some time so it's probably safe.
