The instruction dump decodes as:
  subfic  r6,r5,8
  rlwinm  r6,r6,3,0,28
  ldbrx   r9,0,r3
  ldbrx   r10,0,r4	<-

Which shows us doing an 8 byte load from c00000062ac3fff9, which
crosses the page boundary at c00000062ac40000 and faults.

It's not OK for memcmp to read past the end of the source or
destination buffers.

The bug is in the code at the .Lcmp_rest_lt8bytes label. To fix it
test if we have at least 4 bytes to compare and if so do a 4 byte load
and compare. Otherwise, and/or if we have anything left, jump to the
existing code that does byte at a time comparison.
