057e05c1d6 x86, mem: memmove_64.S: Optimize memmove by enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB
Support memmove() by enhanced rep movsb. On processors supporting enhanced
REP MOVSB/STOSB, the alternative memmove() function using enhanced rep movsb
overrides the original function.

The patch doesn't change the backward memmove case to use enhanced rep
movsb.

9599ec0471 x86-64, mem: Convert memmove() to assembly file and fix return value bug
memmove_64.c only implements memmove() function which is completely written in
inline assembly code. Therefore it doesn't make sense to keep the assembly code
in .c file.

Currently memmove() doesn't store return value to rax. This may cause issue if
caller uses the return value. The patch fixes this issue.
