You may also choose to consider using FPU to do copying 80 bits at a time
:). This is something that is _possible_ even on 8088/8086 machines w/an
8087 and compatible on x86's w/FPU. I believe Paul Hsieh of clax also
mentioned that MMX memcpy work well when carefully aligned but that would
be out of the scope of ELKS's goal. However, a 80 bit memcpy on a 286/386
could produce a significant boost in speed.
