Siddhesh Poyarekar dce452dc52 Rename the glibc.tune namespace to glibc.cpu
The glibc.tune namespace is vaguely named since it is a 'tunable', so
give it a more specific name that describes what it refers to.  Rename
the tunable namespace to 'cpu' to more accurately reflect what it
encompasses.  Also rename glibc.tune.cpu to glibc.cpu.name since
glibc.cpu.cpu is weird.

Adhemerval Zanella c9cd7b0ce5 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.
