Adhemerval Zanella c9cd7b0ce5 powerpc: POWER8 memcpy optimization for cached memory
On POWER8, unaligned memory accesses to cached memory has little impact
on performance as opposed to its ancestors.

It is disabled by default and will only be available when the tunable
glibc.tune.cached_memopt is set to 1.
