[PATCH] faster copy_*_user for bad alignments on intel ia32 

This patch speeds up copy_*_user for some Intel ia32 processors.  It is
based on work by Mala Anand.

It is a good win.  Around 30% for all src/dest alignments except 32/32.

In this test a fully-cached one gigabyte file was read into an
8192-byte userspace buffer using read(fd, buf, 8192).  The alignment of
the user-side buffer was altered between runs.  This is a PIII.  Times
are in seconds.

So `rep;movsl' is slower at all non-cache-aligned offsets.

PII is using the PIII alignment.  I don't have a PII any more, but I do
recall that it demonstrated the same behaviour as the PIII.

The patch contains an enhancement (based on careful testing) from
Hirokazu Takahashi <taka@valinux.co.jp>.  In cases where source and
dest have the same alignment, but that aligment is poor, we do a short
copy of a few bytes to bring the two pointers onto a favourable
boundary and then do the big copy.

And also a bugfix from Hirokazu Takahashi.

As an added bonus, this patch decreases the kernel text by 28 kbytes.
22k of this in in .text and the rest in __ex_table.  I'm not really
sure why .text shrunk so much.

These copy routines have no special-case for constant-sized copies.  So
a lot of uaccess.h becomes dead code with this patch.  The next patch
which uninlines the copy_*_user functions cleans all that up and saves
an additional 5k.
