      libc: memset: improve performance by avoiding single byte writes · 75fab649

      Currently our memset() implementation is safe, but slow. The main reason
      for that seems to be the single byte writes that it issues, which can
      show horrible performance, depending on the implementation of the
      load/store subsystem.
      
      Improve the algorithm by trying to issue 64-bit writes. As this only
      works with aligned pointers, have a head and a tail section which
      covers unaligned pointers, and leave the bulk of the work to the middle
      section that does use 64-bit writes.
      
      Put through some unit tests, which exercise all combinations of nasty
      input parameters (pointers with various alignments, various odd and even
      sizes, corner cases of content to write (-1, 256)).
