So the test can catch more subtle errors can we test
with memcmp args at begining and end of a page.

i.e buf1/buf2 and (buf1 + page_size - a->len)/(buf2 + page_size - a->len).

can you also test 2^i - 1.

Can you move this to the string directory (so we run this on all
arch) and add corresponding tests for memcmpeq/wmemcmp.
