That is a possibility.

But let's be clear that this only applies to:

1) memcpy calls with constant "count" of PAGE_SIZE
2) memset calls with constant "c" of zero and "count" of PAGE_SIZE

Since those are the only cases where memset/memcpy gets translated
into calls to those optimized Hypersparc routines.
