C
C Copy src,size to dst,size, working from low to high addresses.
C
C The code here is very generic and can be expected to be reasonable on all
C the x86 family.
C
C P6 - An MMX based copy was tried, but was found to be slower than a rep
C movs in all cases. The fastest MMX found was 0.8 cycles/limb (when
C fully aligned). A rep movs seems to have a startup time of about 15
C cycles, but doing something special for small sizes could lead to a
C branch misprediction that would destroy any saving. For now a plain
C rep movs seems ok.
C
C K62 - We used to have a big chunk of code doing an MMX copy at 0.56 c/l if
C aligned or a 1.0 rep movs if not. But that seemed excessive since
C it only got an advantage half the time, and even then only showed it
C above 50 limbs or so.
