68000 has different alignment needs to 68020+.
memcpy() checks if the destination is aligned and does a smaller copy
to fix the alignment and then critically for 68000 it checks if the
source is still unaligned and if it is reverts to smaller copies.

memmove() does not currently do the second part and malfunctions if
one of the pointers is aligned and the other isn't.

This is apparently getting triggered by printk. If I put breakpoints
into the new checks added by this commit the first hit looks like this:

memmove (n=205, src=0x2f3971 <printk_shared_pbufs+205>, dest=0x2f3980 <printk_shared_pbufs+220>) at arch/m68k/lib/memmove.c:82

This is from my "make 68000 work again" backlog.

I have had this fix for years and I think the few other people that
have various 68000 hobby builds must have something similar.
