[PATCH 11/20] alpha: add assembly mempcpy sharing the ev6 memcpy

It's not an optimization, in general it makes things worse (either slowing down
a shared implementation or wasting L1 cache space for separate implementations).

For this reason both GCC and LLVM optimize mempcpy into memcpy.
Hence optimizing a mempcpy is completely missing the point since it will never
be called. That's why the C version is fine.
