Ping!

We have been carrying a variant of this exact patch in the tilegx
architecture recently (since we only recently fixed up our memcpy to be
safe for forward overlapping memmove).  Maxim, are you planning to commit
this prior to the 2.17 code freeze?  I'd like to see the tilegx memmove
take advantage of this.
