[PATCH 0/3] lib/string: optimized mem* functions

[Matteo Croce <mcroce@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

Rewrite the generic mem{cpy,move,set} so that memory is accessed with
the widest size possible, but without doing unaligned accesses.

This was originally posted as C string functions for RISC-V[1], but as
there was no specific RISC-V code, it was proposed for the generic
lib/string.c implementation.

Tested on RISC-V and on x86_64 by undefining __HAVE_ARCH_MEM{CPY,SET,MOVE}
and HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.

Further testing on big endian machines will be appreciated, as I don't
have such hardware at the moment.
