I cleaned it up.  This is what I checked in.  Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Set index_Fast_Unaligned_Load for Excavator family CPUs

GLIBC benchtest testcases shows SSE2_Unaligned based implementations
are performing faster compare to SSE2 based implementations for
routines: strcmp, strcat, strncat, stpcpy, stpncpy, strcpy, strncpy
and strstr. Flag index_Fast_Unaligned_Load is set for Excavator family
0x15h CPU's. This makes SSE2_Unaligned based implementations as
default for these routines.

	[BZ #19467]
	* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set
	index_Fast_Unaligned_Load flag for Excavator family CPUs.
