PFA patch and ChangeLog files to this mail. If OK please commit it from my side.

A few comments:
1. Since there is bit_arch_Fast_Copy_Backward already, please
add bit_arch_Avoid_AVX_Fast_Unaligned_Load instead.
2. Please verify that index_arch_XXX are the same and use
one index_arch_XXX to set all bits. There are examples in
sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c.
3. Please use proper ChangeLog format:
* file (name of function, macro, ...): What changed.
