27b75f56c9 PowerPC: Cleanup powerpc memmove
Now that MEMCPY_OK_FOR_FWD_MEMMOVE should be define on memcopy.h there
is no need to specialized powerpc memmove implementation.  This patch
moves the define set to powerpc memcopy and cleanup its definition on
powerpc code.

17762f6625 PowerPC: optimized memmove for POWER7/PPC64
This patch adds an optimized memmove optimization for POWER7/powerpc64.
Basically the idea is to use the memcpy for POWER7 on non-overlapped
memory regions and a optimized backward memcpy for memory regions
that overlap (similar to the idea of string/memmove.c).

The backward memcpy algorithm used is similar the one use for memcpy for
POWER7, with adjustments done for alignment.  The difference is memory
is always aligned to 16 bytes before using VSX/altivec instructions.
