memmove_early was introduced with commit d543a106f96d6 ("s390: fix
initrd corruptions with gcov/kcov instrumented kernels"). The reason
for writing this extra memmove implementation was to be able to move
memory from an unknown location (aka SCSI IPL parameter block) to a
known location.
This had to done early before it was known if the SCSI IPL parameter
block pointer was valid or not, and therefore the memmove
implementation was supposed to be able to handle program checks.
The code has been changed and especially with commit d08091ac9654
("s390/ipl: rely on diag308 store to get ipl info") and
commit b4623d4e5b23 ("s390: provide memmove implementation") there
is no need to have a memmove version that can handle program checks,
and in addition it cannot be gcov/kcov instrumented anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
