The walk benchmarks don't measure anything useful - memory is not initialized
properly so doing a single walk in 32MB just measures reading the 4KB zero
page for reads and clear_page overhead for writes.  The memset variants don't
even manage to do a walk in the 32MB region due to using incorrect pointer
increments...  Neither is it clear why it is walking backwards since this
won't confuse modern prefetchers.  If you fix the benchmark and print the
bandwidth, the results are identical for all sizes larger than ~1KB since it
is just testing memory bandwidth of a single 32MB block.  This case is already
tested by the large benchmark, so overall it doesn't seem useful to keep these.

OK for commit?

* [PATCH] Benchtests: Remove broken walk benchmarks

The walk benchmarks don't measure anything useful - memory is not initialized
properly so doing a single walk in 32MB just measures reading the 4KB zero
page for reads and clear_page overhead for writes.  The memset variants don't
even manage to do a walk in the 32MB region due to using incorrect pointer
increments...  Neither is it clear why it is walking backwards since this
won't confuse modern prefetchers.  If you fix the benchmark and print the
bandwidth, the results are identical for all sizes larger than ~1KB since it
is just testing memory bandwidth of a single 32MB block.  This case is already
tested by the large benchmark, so overall it doesn't seem useful to keep these.

-/* This microbenchmark measures the throughput of memmove for various sizes from
-   1 byte to 32MiB, doubling every iteration and then misaligning by 0-15
-   bytes.  The copies are done from source to destination and then back and the
-   source walks forward across the array and the destination walks backward by
-   one byte each, thus measuring misaligned accesses as well.  The idea is to
-   avoid caching effects by copying a different string and far enough from each
-   other, walking in different directions so that we can measure prefetcher
-   efficiency (software or hardware) more closely than with a loop copying the
-   same data over and over, which eventually only gives us L1 cache
-   performance.  */
