When the __raw_* variants are used, as Geert points out, then I think
the memcpy / memset can be replaced, but the rest seems fine to keep.
My personal opinion is that __raw_* is for macro use etc, and not
something to use everywhere. So I like the fb_read/fb_write macros.
But that is just my color of the bikeshed.
