 *
 *
 * memcpy (and copy_4K_page) routine optimized for CELL-BE-PPC
 *
 * The CELL PPC core has 1 integerunit and 1 load/store unit
 * CELL: 1st level data cache = 32K - 2nd level data cache = 512K
 * - 3rd level data cache = 0K
 * To improve copy performance we need to prefetch source data
 * far ahead to hide this latency
 * For best performance instruction forms ending in "." like "andi."
 * should be avoided as they are implemented in microcode on CELL.
 *
 * The below code is loop unrolled for the CELL cache line of 128 bytes.
