Where is "6.5 seconds" coming from? That is the *total boot time*
of the libguestfs appliance, and includes far far more than the
time taken to do the memcpy.
I timed the call to cpu_physical_memory_write, and it takes 115
milliseconds with my patch (for an initrd which is 113 MB).

Please don't make stuff up. We have a large initrd for perfectly good
reasons which I have outlined in a previous email.
