PATCH 1/1 ACPI, APEI: Cleanup alignment related codes for APEI

We ever used *memcpy* to avoid access alignment issue between firmware and OS. Now we can use a better and standard way to avoid this issue. No functional changes.

We ever used *memcpy* to avoid access alignment issue between firmware and OS. Now we can use a better and standard way to avoid this issue. No functional changes.

There are some other cleanups in here (changing variable names, using structure assignment instead of memcpy). Commit message should describe them all, not just the change that you started out to make.

How about this:

We ever used *memcpy* to avoid access alignment issue between firmware and OS. Now we can use a better and standard way to avoid this issue. In the meanwhile, simplify some variable names to avoid the limit of 80 characters per line and use structure assignment instead of unnecessary memcpy. No functional changes.
