At the time being, memcmp() compares two chunks of memory
byte per byte.
This patch optimises the comparison by comparing word by word.
On the same way as commit 15c2d45d17418 ("powerpc: Add 64bit
optimised memcmp"), this patch moves memcmp() into a dedicated
file named memcmp_32.S
A small benchmark performed on an 8xx comparing two chuncks
of 512 bytes performed 100000 times gives:
Before : 5852274 TB ticks
After: 1488638 TB ticks
This is almost 4 times faster
