This worried me initially, because we can't copy from physically
discontiguous pages in real mode.
But as you explained this buffer is not used for copying.
I think if you move the large comment below up here, it would be
clearer.

I know you just moved it, but this should use:
bcl 20, 31, $+4
mflr %r18
Which is a special form of branch and link that doesn't unbalance the
link stack in the chip.

I prefer spaces or tabs between arguments, eg:
cmpdi %cr0, %r3, 0

Local labels will make this clearer I think. eg:
beq .Lskip_copy

cheers
