[PATCH 2/5] [Powerpc] tune/optimize memmove/wordcopy. Call memcpywhen appropriate.


[Powerpc] tune/optimize memmove/wordcopy. Call memcpy when appropriate.

Call the optimized __builtin_memcpy function if our memmove memory ranges do
not overlap.  This allows us to take advantage of the powerpc optimized memcpy
code, and gives a healthy throughput boost.

2012-03-12  Will Schmidt <will_schmidt@vnet.ibm.com>

	* sysdeps/powerpc/memmove.c: Call __builtin_memcopy() when source and
	destination ranges are known not to overlap.
