 This patch set also updates memcmp selftest case to make it compiled and
 incorporate large size comparison case.
+
+v7 -> v8:
+- define memcmp with _GLOBAL_TOC() instead of _GLOBAL() to fix TOC issue.
+add _GLOBAL_TOC() definition into selftest so that it can be compiled.
+- use mfocrf/mtocrf instead of mcrf to save/restore CR0
+
+v6 -> v7:
+- add vcmpequd/vcmpequdb .long macro
+- add CPU_FTR pair so that Power7 won't invoke Altivec instrs.
+- rework some instructions for higher performance or more readable.

+v5 -> v6:
+- correct some comments/commit messsage.
+- rename VMX_OPS_THRES to VMX_THRESH
