Stafford Horne f5d45dc911 openrisc: Add optimized memcpy routine
The generic memcpy routine provided in kernel does only byte copies.
Using word copies we can lower boot time and cycles spend in memcpy
quite significantly.

Booting on my de0 nano I see boot times go from 7.2 to 5.6 seconds.
The avg cycles in memcpy during boot go from 6467 to 1887.

I tested several algorithms (see code in previous patch mails)

The implementations I tested and avg cycles:
  - Word Copies + Loop Unrolls + Non Aligned    1882
  - Word Copies + Loop Unrolls                  1887
  - Word Copies                                 2441
  - Byte Copies + Loop Unrolls                  6467
  - Byte Copies                                 7600

In the end I ended up going with Word Copies + Loop Unrolls as it
provides best tradeoff between simplicity and boot speedups.

Olof Kindgren d857a1e253 openrisc: Add optimized memset
This adds a hand-optimized assembler version of memset and sets
__HAVE_ARCH_MEMSET to use this version instead of the generic C
routine
