commit 36d57e95dfe1bc7d7cfa564ad428f2720613f4ff
Author: Patrick Rudolph

libpayload/string: Add SSE memcpy functions

Improve memcpy speed by using SSE for large transfers.
    Performance gain is about 40% on Intel C2D with a transfer size
    of 16MiB.
    Keep using REP for small transfers as it has less overhead and
    SSE is slower on those anyways.
