This patch is split from the Chen Baozi's old patch:

"This activates the ARM code added in the previous patches. On

Note: The code is copied from FreeBSD code:
       freebsd/contrib/ldns/compat/memmove.c

That's only for memmove. How about memchr?
The memchr is also from the FreeBSD code...

You specify the file for memmove.c. But not memchr.

Also, this seems to come from a userspace application and not the kernel.
Why not importing the assembly version (memmove.S and memcpy.S) that has
been optimized for aarch64?
okay. I can use the assembly version..

I was asking the rationale behind using userspace application memcpy over the assembly one.
