[PATCH] aarch64: optimized memcpy implementation for thunderx2

[Anton Youdkevitch]

Richard,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I probably should have stated it more clearly that the
updated patch uses the jump table, so, I'm going to
changed the alignment of the code chunks to "standard"
16 bytes (.p2align 4).
