Subject[PATCH RFC 2/2] [x86] Optimize copy_page by re-arranging instruction sequence and saving register
Date
From: Ma Ling <ling.ma@intel.com>

Load and write operation occupy about 35% and 10% respectively
for most industry benchmarks. Fetched 16-aligned bytes code include
about 4 instructions, implying 1.34(0.35 * 4) load, 0.4 write.
Modern CPU support 2 load and 1 write per cycle, so throughput from write is
bottleneck for memcpy or copy_page, and some slight CPU only support one mem
operation per cycle. So it is enough to issue one read and write instruction
per cycle, and we can save registers.

In this patch we also re-arrange instruction sequence to improve performance
The performance on atom is improved about 11%, 9% on hot/cold-cache case respectively.
