That might be the final intent of this seris, but what this patch does is
to replace the trivial memset/memcpy inline implementations with a more 
complex one that actually use the accessors.

So this actually changes behavior for those architectures that did not
provide them before quite a lot.  You'll need to explain in more
detail why that is safe and desireable.
