    Fix issues with x86 memcpy
    
    The x86 memcpy() implementation did not mention its implicit output
    registers ESI, EDI and ECX which might make this code miscompile when
    the compiler uses the value of EDI for the return value *after* the 'rep
    movsb' has completed. That would break the API of memcpy as this would
    return 'dst+len' instead of 'dst'.
    
    Fix this possible bug by removing the wrong comment and listing all
    output registers as such (using dummy stack variables that get optimized
    away).
    
    Also the leading 'cld' is superflous as the ABI mandates the direction
    flag to be cleared all the time when we're in C (see
    <http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/changes.html>) and we have no ASM call sites
    that might require it to be cleared explicitly (SMM might come to mind,
    but it clears the DF itself before passing control to the C part of the
    SMI handler).
    
    Last but not least fix the prototype to match the one from <string.h>.
