    lib: Provide an accelerated routine for readback from WC · 6a06d014

    Reading from WC is awfully slow as each access is uncached and so
    performed synchronously, stalling for the memory load. x86 did introduce
    some new instructions in SSE 4.1 to provide a small internal buffer to
    accelerate reading back a cacheline at a time from uncached memory, for
    this purpose.
    
    v2: Don't be lazy and handle misalignment.
    v3: Switch out of sse41 before emitting the generic memcpy routine
    v4: Replace opencoded memcpy_from_wc
    v5: Always flush the internal buffer before use (Eric)
    v6: Assume bulk moves, so check for dst alignment.
    v7: Use _mm_fence for _buitlin_ia32_mfence for consistency, remove
    superfluous defines (Ville)
