[RFC PATCH 09/20] x86: inline memcpy

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-inline-memcpy.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1672 bytes --]

Export an inline_memcpy() API. Useful when the memcpy size is unknown but the
caller cannot afford the cost of a function call. Useful for very frequent
memcpy callers.
