This patch or this series? If this series, which cpu, as other than
possibly code alignment stuff
if its a CPU that has unrolled version preferred then there is no
difference in implementations.
If its a CPU that doesn't have unrolled enabled, then I think the
right way to fix this is to
make a follow up patch enabling unrolled memmove for this arch.

If this patch then there must be unreliability in there benchmarks as
there has been literally
no change to libc.so.
