Comment (by Sebastian Huber):

 I am not convinced that the referenced OpenSolaris version is faster than
 the generic Newlib memcpy(). In addition, we have to consider that the
 SPARC/LEON processors do not support misaligned memory accesses.

 Firstly, we should consider to add a memcpy() benchmark and test to

 https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/testsuites/benchmarks

 and use it to justify a new implementation.
