Subject: [PATCH v2] perf bench: Documentation update
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>
The current perf-bench documentation has a couple
of typos and even lacks entire description of mem
subsystem. Fix it.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+-l::
+--length::
+Specify length of memory to copy (default: 1MB).
+Available units are B, KB, MB, GB and TB (case insensitive).

+-r::
+--routine::
+Specify routine to copy (default: default).
+Available routines are depend on the architecture.
+On x86-64, x86-64-unrolled, x86-64-movsq and x86-64-movsb are supported.

+--no-prefault::
+Show only the result without page faults before memcpy.
