When trying to align the source pointer and there's a byte carry
in an SGE copy, bytes are borrowed from the next quad-word X to
complete the required quad-word copy. Then, the SGE length is
reduced by the number of borrowed bytes. After this, if the
remaining number of bytes from quad-word X (extra bytes) is
greater than the new SGE length, the number of extra bytes needs
to be updated to the new SGE length. Otherwise, when the
SGE length gets updated again after the extra bytes are read to
create the new byte carry, it goes negative, which then becomes
a very large number as the SGE length is an unsigned integer.
This causes SGE buffer to be over-read.
