Subject: [PATCH][AArch64] Tune memcpy

This patch further tunes memcpy - avoid one branch for sizes 1-3, add a prefetch and improve small copies that are exact powers of 2.

OK for commit? (depends on https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-09/msg00633.html )

ChangeLog:
2015-11-19  Wilco Dijkstra  <wdijkstr@arm.com>

	* sysdeps/aarch64/memcpy.S (memcpy):
	Further tuning for performance.
