[PATCH] Speed up "copy4", "copy64" on little-endian systems.

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The copy64 function implements an endian-safe copy routine for
an array of 16 32-bit integers, but this is sub-optimal on machines
where the byte-order is already correct. Likewise for copy4.

This patch replaces the implementation with a simple memcpy when
appropriate, and retains the old implementation otherwise.

Note that the compiler will always inline calls to memcpy for small
byte-counts, so this is a big win.
