Unrelated trivia:

Is bcmp still used anywhere in the kernel?

confdata.c is a user-mode program right?

$ git grep -w bcmp
arch/x86/boot/string.c: * Clang may lower `memcmp == 0` to `bcmp == 0`.
arch/x86/boot/string.c:int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t len)
include/linux/string.h:extern int bcmp(const void *,const void *,__kernel_size_t);
lib/Makefile:# Prevent the compiler from calling builtins like memcmp() or bcmp() from this
lib/string.c: * bcmp - returns 0 if and only if the buffers have identical contents.
lib/string.c: * meaning, and architectures may implement their own more efficient bcmp(). So
lib/string.c:int bcmp(const void *a, const void *b, size_t len)
lib/string.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(bcmp);
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:     if (bcmp(map1, map2, st1.st_size))
