The comment doesn't explain anything about why copylen might be zero
or reg->i_addr might be null.  If copylen is zero, we should really
skip the copy, not rely on some magic pointer arithmetic to tell us
it's ok to copy...

			/*
			 * Copy region.
			 *
			 * Unmount records just log an opheader, so can have
			 * empty payloads with no data region to copy. Hence we only
			 * copy the payload if the vector says it has data to copy.
			 */
			ASSERT(copy_len >= 0);
			if (copy_len > 0) {
				memcpy(ptr, reg->i_addr + copy_off, copy_len);
				xlog_write_adv_cnt(&ptr, &len, &log_offset, copy_len);
			}

Cheers,

Dave.
