When there is no overlap between src and dst use optimised memcpy if it
is available.

This change is a small part of a patch [1] from Paul Burton. I have
added his Signed-off by. I do not know whether it is correct. Please let
me know if it has to be changed, I will send a v2.
This patch is boot tested with qemu for MIPS architecture by removing
mips's memmove routine. This patch does not contain MIPS changes. I
will try to find out why [1] was not taken already and figure out what
to do.
