/***
*memmove - Copy source buffer to destination buffer
*
*Purpose:
*       memmove() copies a source memory buffer to a destination memory buffer.
*       This routine recognize overlapping buffers to avoid propogation.
*       For cases where propogation is not a problem, memcpy() can be used.
*
*Entry:
*       void *dst = pointer to destination buffer
*       const void *src = pointer to source buffer
*       size_t count = number of bytes to copy
*
*Exit:
*       Returns a pointer to the destination buffer
*
*Exceptions:
