No bug.
The optimizations are as follows:
1) Always align entry to 64 bytes. This makes behavior more
predictable and makes other frontend optimizations easier.
2) Make the L(more_8x_vec) cases 4k aliasing aware. This can have
significant benefits in the case that:
0 < (dst - src) < [256, 512]
3) Align before `rep movsb`. For ERMS this is roughly a [0, 30%]
improvement and for FSRM [-10%, 25%].
In addition to these primary changes there is general cleanup
throughout to optimize the aligning routines and control flow logic.
