Yeah, the only reason I did not is that many arches intentionally bug
during the linking process when the argument size is not 1,2,4,8 whereas
some do not...it would be nice to get a decision on what is the right
answer.

Also, I saw the mips version, what would you think of moving to the
no_builtin_memcpy version from my patchset...or just look at
h3800, xtensa, or m32r arch implementations currently in tree.

Cheers,

Harvey
