From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the
caller to fill the destination with a multibyte pattern. memset_l()
and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and pointer
values respectively. memset64() is currently only available on 64-bit
architectures.
