From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When the destination buffer is before the source one, or when the
buffers doesn't overlap, it's safe to use memcpy() instead, which is
optimized to use a bigger data size possible.
This "optimization" only covers a common case. In future, proper code
which does the same thing as memcpy() does but backwards can be done.
