Downside: slower memcpy on sse4.2 machines
Downside: if we workaround the Adobe flash bug by reverting that change for
	  say half a year to let Adobe fix it in the months timeframe,
	  another possible misuses of memcpy in other proprietary closed software
	  won't be detected over that period of time, so then we'll revert
	  it for another buggy program and so on forever
Downside: this isn't ever going to be acceptable to upstream

If you want to workaround the bug somewhere, do it temporarily in nspluginwrapper,
or the browser upon detecting loading of libflashplugin.so.
