Bin Meng 703b84ec29 riscv: Fix memmove and optimise memcpy when misalign
At present U-Boot SPL fails to boot on SiFive Unleashed board, due
to a load address misaligned exception happens when loading the FIT
image in spl_load_simple_fit(). The exception happens in memmove()
which is called by fdt_splice_().

Commit 8f0dc4cfd1 introduces an assembly version of memmove but
it does take misalignment into account (it checks if length is a
multiple of machine word size but pointers need also be aligned).
As a result it will generate misaligned load/store for the majority
of cases and causes significant performance regression on hardware
that traps misaligned load/store and emulate them using firmware.

The current behaviour of memcpy is that it checks if both src and
dest pointers are co-aligned (aka congruent modular SZ_REG). If
aligned, it will copy data word-by-word after first aligning
pointers to word boundary. If src and dst are not co-aligned,
however, byte-wise copy will be performed.

This patch was taken from the Linux kernel patch [1], which has not
been applied at the time being. It fixes the memmove and optimises
memcpy for misaligned cases. It will first align destination pointer
to word-boundary regardless whether src and dest are co-aligned or
not. If they indeed are, then wordwise copy is performed. If they
are not co-aligned, then it will load two adjacent words from src
and use shifts to assemble a full machine word. Some additional
assembly level micro-optimisation is also performed to ensure more
instructions can be compressed (e.g. prefer a0 to t6).

With this patch, U-Boot boots again on SiFive Unleashed board.
