While most 64-bit architectures have an assembly implementation of this
file RISC-V does not. As we now copy 8 bytes instead of 4 it should speed
up RISC-V. Using intptr_t instead of int also allows using this file for
CHERI pure-capability code since trying to copy pointers using integer
loads/stores will invalidate pointers.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
bcopy(3) functions are prototyped in <strings.h> and not in
<string.h> anymore.
- Add a sentence about that to the respective HISTORY sections.
In the C source files:
- Include <string.h> or <strings.h> depending on what function
is to be compiled.
- Use ANSI-C function definitions.
