powerpc: Optimized strcmp for POWER8/PPC64
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcmp using unaligned accesses. The algorithm first check the initial 16 bytes, then align the first function source and uses unaligned loads on second argument only. Aditional checks for page boundaries are done for unaligned cases
