[PATCH 1/2] aarch64: Add back non-temporal load/stores from oryon-1's memcpy

I misunderstood the recommendation from the hardware team about non-temporal
load/stores. It is still recommended to use them in memcpy for large sizes. It
was not recommended for their use with device memory and memcpy is already
not valid to be use with device memory.

This reverts commit eb5eeb47403e0a91de834868e501b4d62b8d2cb9.
