introduce memory_read_from_buffer()
This patch introduces memory_read_from_buffer(). The only difference between memory_read_from_buffer() and simple_read_from_buffer() is which address space the function copies to. simple_read_from_buffer copies to user space memory. memory_read_from_buffer copies to normal memory.
