Subject: [PATCH] perf bench: Add new functions for utilizing rep of Nehalem

This patch adds two functions to bench/mem-memcpy.c,
memcpy_nehalem_rep() and memcpy_orig_of_nehalem_rep().

These functions are based on the post by Ling Ma,
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125800144419838&w=2
And the purpose of this post is improving performance
of memcpy() for x86_64.

On my Core i7 box, I can find improvement of performance,

|% perf bench mem memcpy -c -l 1GB -r nehalem-rep
| # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
| # Copying 1GB Bytes from 0x7ff9fc95a010 to 0x7ffa3c95b010 ...
|
|        3.099325 Clock/Byte
| % perf bench mem memcpy -c -l 1GB -r orig-of-nehalem-rep
| # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
| # Copying 1GB Bytes from 0x7f314d1d7010 to 0x7f318d1d8010 ...
|
|        4.353351 Clock/Byte

(of course I tested some times, and results are like the above)
