Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] riscv: optimized memcpy

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@...rosoft.com>

Write a C version of memcpy() which uses the biggest data size allowed,
without generating unaligned accesses.

The procedure is made of three steps:
First copy data one byte at time until the destination buffer is aligned
to a long boundary.
Then copy the data one long at time shifting the current and the next u8
to compose a long at every cycle.
Finally, copy the remainder one byte at time.

On a BeagleV, the TCP RX throughput increased by 45%:

And the decreased CPU time of the memcpy() is observable with perf top.
This is the `perf top -Ue task-clock` output when doing the test:

before:

Overhead  Shared O  Symbol
  42.22%  [kernel]  [k] memcpy
  35.00%  [kernel]  [k] __asm_copy_to_user
   3.50%  [kernel]  [k] sifive_l2_flush64_range
   2.30%  [kernel]  [k] stmmac_napi_poll_rx
   1.11%  [kernel]  [k] memset

after:

  45.69%  [kernel]  [k] __asm_copy_to_user
  29.06%  [kernel]  [k] memcpy
