From: Matteo Croce <[email protected]>
The generic memset is defined as a byte at time write. This is always
safe, but it's slower than a 4 byte or even 8 byte write.
Write a generic memset which fills the data one byte at time until the
destination is aligned, then fills using the largest size allowed,
and finally fills the remaining data one byte at time.

This patch causes the Linux kernel to hang if compile with LLVM/Clang.
Tested on Qemu.
Steps to compile with Clang:
make CC=clang defconfig
make CC=clang -j

Hi Ley Foon,
You're right it doesn't boot for me either when building with
make ARCH=riscv LLVM=1
The following patch fixes it for me though. In hindsigt it's perhaps a
bit surprising it works without -ffreestanding in GCC.
