Just fyi: the reason I split it up is because for ia64 its worthwhile
to special-case the memset-to-zero case (think stf.spill). That code
isn't there yet, but I wanted to get things set up for it. Of course,
memset can also check for this case dynamically, but from a logical
perspective, I like it better to make the bzero case explicit (and
save a taken branch in those cases where the compiler macro detects
memset-to-zero).
