I read the whole series now, and it looks OK to me.
More below on the selftest though.

Sorry for the delay on this. It still wasn't immediately/obviously clear
to me what the test was doing. Particularly, how is check_copy_bitwise
confirming the bits are being copied correctly. I just needed to find
a bit of time to step through the code and figure it out.
So now I have a suggested patch, either on top of yours, or to
merge with yours, whatever you prefer.

I think that instead writing a all-zeros source on top of an all-zeros
destination and the converse would be clearer IMO. Also, to cover
alternating bits we can include all 0xaa's and all 0x55's patterns.
I think that gives as much, if not more coverage while being more
"deterministic".

I think it's beneficial for readability to spell out "offset",
and to normalize from -> source, to -> dest, to match the other
variables and the parameter names of the callees.
And finally, getting back to check_copy_bitwise, I think
a comment like the one added by this patch makes it easier
to understand what's going on.
WDTY?
