Subject: [PATCH 2/5] dmidecode: Don't use memcpy on /dev/mem on arm64

On arm64, calling memcpy on /dev/mem will cause a bus error if the
start and the end of the buffer are not aligned on a 64-bit boundary.
Using option --no-sysfs triggers this.

Use a slow manual byte-by-byte copy in that case, to prevent the bus
error. This is only a fallback path (at least on Linux) and not
performance-critical anyway, as it is a one-time operation and DMI
tables are usually not too large.

This fixes bug #55026:
