Subject: [PATCH RFC] x86:Improve memset with general 64bit instruction

From: Ling Ma <ling.ml@...baba-inc.com>

In this patch we manage to reduce miss branch prediction by 
avoiding using branch instructions and force destination to be aligned
with general 64bit instruction. 
Below compared results shows we improve performance up to 1.8x
(We modified test suit from Ondra, send after this patch)
