Subject[PATCH 3/7] powerpc/lib: optimise PPC32 memcmp
Date
At the time being, memcmp() compares two chunks of memory
byte per byte.

This patch optimised the comparison by comparing word by word.

A small benchmark performed on an 8xx based on the comparison
of two chuncks of 512 bytes performed 100000 times gives:

Before : 5852274 TB ticks
After: 1488638 TB ticks

This is almost 4 times faster
