fwts_memcpy_unaligned was used to deal with the fact that the kernel was
giving access to smbios tables through /dev/mem on aarch64 with device
memory mappings.

This was never a valid way of accessing SMBIOS tables on aarch64, so now
/dev/mem access has been disabled on that architecture, go back to a normal
memcpy.
