SSE memory functions work on multiple of 16byte chunks. Cache size
of 1258291 byte isn't a useful threshold. .Round cache size to 256byte
shouldn't change behavior on most of processors since their cache sizes
are multiple of 256bytes. I don't expect any SSE memory functions will use
raw values. I added them just in case someone finds them useful.
