Align the hot loops in our assembly implementation of memset()
and backwards_memcpy().

backwards_memcpy() is called from tcp_v4_rcv(), so we might
want to optimise this a little more.

Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <redacted>
Shouldn't this patch be titled powerpc/64, as powerpc32 has a different 
memset() ?
