PowerPC LE memcpy
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00103.html

LIttle-endian support for memcpy.  I spent some time cleaning up the
64-bit power7 memcpy, in order to avoid the extra alignment traps
power7 takes for little-endian.  It probably would have been better
to copy the linux kernel version of memcpy.

	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/memcpy.S: Add little endian support.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power6/memcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/memcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/mempcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/memcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power4/memcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/memcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memcpy.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/mempcpy.S: Likewise.  Make better
	use of regs.  Use power7 mtocrf.  Tidy function tails.

 	Formatting.  Consistently use rXXX register defines or rN defines.
 	Use early exit labels that avoid restoring unused non-volatile regs.
