You need to add a #define __HAVE_ARCH_MEMMOVE to include/asm-alpha/string.h.
Also, your patch seems to be broken. Sometimes it doesn't copy enough. I had the same bug in my hacked version, before I made it into a patch, and it was something like:
while (count--) { ... }
turning into
while (count -= 8) { ... }
instead of
while (count) { count -= 8; ... }
I can't see any of that in that patch, but scrolling around with emacs, sometimes an 'if' turns into a 'ff'. Linus, I've left you on the cc list for this message so that you know not to apply the patch in the previous one.
