If you're determined to do this, then use memmove() which actually
guarantees to work with overlapping ranges.  Don't rely on non-guaranteed
behaviour of current implementations of memcpy().  Did you really check
the two dozen assembly implementations of memcpy() in the kernel?

Why not do two digits at a time like put_dec() does?
