Subject: [PATCH v4 1/8] Add multibyte memset functions
From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>
memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the
caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte.
memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and
pointer values respectively.
