powerpc: POWER8 memcpy optimization for cached memory
On POWER8, unaligned memory accesses to cached memory has little impact
on performance as opposed to its ancestors.
It is disabled by default and will only be available when the tunable
glibc.tune.cached_memopt is set to 1.
__memcpy_power8_cached __memcpy_power7
