Comment (by duncan):

 Replying to [comment:3 rwbarton]:
 > It looks like the comments in `doCopyByteArrayToAddrOp` and
 `doCopyAddrToByteArrayOp` were copied from `doCopyByteArrayOp`. Actually,
 the reason it's okay to assume the memory ranges aren't overlapping in the
 former two functions is that that is a precondition of the primop.

 Fair point. Updated those two comments.

 Replying to [comment:4 thoughtpolice]:
 > This patch looks quite straightforward to me. If nobody has any other
 objections, I'll put it on my patch queue and merge it later tonight.

 Ta!
