powerpc: Avoid unaligned loads and stores in boot memcpy code 

The 601 processor will generate an alignment exception for accesses
which cross a page boundary.  In the boot wrapper code, OF is still
handling all exceptions, and it doesn't have an alignment exception
handler that emulates the instruction and continues.

This changes the memcpy and memmove routines in the boot wrapper to
avoid doing unaligned accesses.  If the source and destination are
misaligned with respect to each other, we just copy one byte at a
time.
