[PATCH] x86_64: Undo the earlier changes to remove unrolled copy/memset functions
They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst
This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions
for these CPUs.
This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1,
essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change
is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD
and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.
