shuffer: make the new shuffler not pollute unrelated memory

Keep the shuffler from polluting memory outside its own "safe area".
This means being more clever about the relocation code, but it should
make it a lot easier to use for our own uses.

old one which would enter PM for the bcopy phase only.  This is not
