Subject: [PATCH v6] riscv: Fixed misaligned memory access.  Fixed pointer comparison.

Rewrote the RISC-V memmove() assembly implementation.  The
previous implementation did not check memory alignment and it
compared 2 pointers with a signed comparison.  The misaligned
memory access would cause the kernel to crash on systems that
did not emulate it in firmware and did not support it in hardware.
Firmware emulation is slow and may not exist.  The RISC-V spec
does not guarantee that support for misaligned memory accesses
will exist.  It should not be depended on.

This patch now checks for XLEN granularity of co-alignment between
the pointers.  Failing that, copying is done by loading from the 2
contiguous and naturally aligned XLEN memory locations containing
the overlapping XLEN sized data to be copied.  The data is shifted
into the correct place and binary or'ed together on each
iteration.  The result is then stored into the corresponding
naturally aligned XLEN sized location in the destination.  For
unaligned data at the terminations of the regions to be copied
or for copies less than (2 * XLEN) in size, byte copy is used.

This patch also now uses unsigned comparison for the pointers and
migrates to the newer assembler annotations from the now deprecated
ones.

[v3]

Fixed the build issue reported by the test robot.  Changed the
copy implementation based on the suggestion by David Laight.

One change that could potentially still be made is to roll one
of the values loaded in the copy loop into the next iteration
of the fixup loop, rather than reloading both values from memory
on each iteration.  It would require some more logic and I'm
really not sure that it is worth it.  It could be added in a
later patch.  For now, this fixes the issues I set out to fix.

[v4]

I could not resist implementing the optimization I mentioned in
my v3 notes.  I have implemented the roll over of data by cpu
register in the misaligned fixup copy loops.  Now, only one load
from memory is required per iteration of the loop.

[v5]

Optimized copy loops by replacing the unconditional jumps to
conditional branches with conditional branches themselves,
spaced loads and the use of the loaded data to minimize pipeline
stalling on in-order CPUs, and unrolled the misaligned copy loop
by one iteration.

[v6]

I have reverted to alphanumeric labels for easier reading per
the request of Palmer Dabbelt.  My idea in using numbers was to
minimize polution of the symbol tables in the kernel elf file.
But that really doesn't matter much and this makes debugging and
code reading easier when viewing an objdump of the kernel elf.

I have also made one additial minor optimization.  I changed the
forward src index counter from register a3 to register a1.  This
means that we don't have to copy the value from a1 to a3 in the
start of this implementation.  I put it off until the end because
it only removed 1 one-time-use instruction at the cost of
decreased readability.
