Gary Lin 28dbe8a3b6 kern/misc: Implement faster grub_memcpy() for aligned buffers
When both "dest" and "src" are aligned, copying the data in grub_addr_t
sized chunks is more efficient than a byte-by-byte copy.

Also tweak __aeabi_memcpy(), __aeabi_memcpy4(), and __aeabi_memcpy8(),
since grub_memcpy() is not inline anymore.

Optimization for unaligned buffers was omitted to maintain code
simplicity and readability. The current chunk-copy optimization
for aligned buffers already provides a noticeable performance
improvement (*) for Argon2 keyslot decryption.

  (*) On my system, for a LUKS2 keyslot configured with a 1 GB Argon2
      memory requirement, this patch reduces the decryption time from
      22 seconds to 12 seconds.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc.

If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY
file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to
the maintainers.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
