Definitely not.  I've never seen that utility on Function, but whatever it's supposed to do, it completely ignores address spaces (our major source of defined nulls) while doing it.

A much simpler surgical fix would be to replace the use of getDereferenceableOrNullBytes with getDereferenceableBytes.  This would eliminate the "or null concern" from the merge logic.

Johannes, I didn't take time to fully understand your concern, but if it's broader than the above, please revert the original patch and handle in normal review.
