I'm not sure, this part was taken from power8 version and for that it
does not check the cache line size.  In fact I looked all other memset
versions (power7, power6, power4 and ppc), and only the ppc version does
not assume a 128 bytes cache line.  And none has this check (and all of
them uses dcbz).  So I don't know.
