Screwy arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h

[David Newall]

There's a lot of weirdness in __constant_memcpy in
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h (2.6.29-rc7).

   1. The first switch is missing a case for n equal 7.
   2. When n < 20, the four tests (n > 16, n > 12, n > 8 & n > 4)
      execute identical statements; always 'asm volatile("movsl" :
      "=&D"(edi), "=&S"(esi) : "0"(edi), "1"(esi) : "memory")'.


I think it copies less than 4 bytes for values of n between 9 and 19.
