[PATCH 3/3] ALPHA: implement and use rdwr_bytes
This is part of some patches to support sectors > 512. Currently I'm able to boot a Ubuntu kernel but seems that mboot is not working for some reason.

This function is quite helpful if you are going to read/write a range of bytes to/from the stack without creating stack overflows for free. I think this is the safer patch of the three.
