fbbd9655e5 Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

ae72afe0f2 The kernel implemented 'memcmp' is an alias for 'bcmp'. However, memcmp
and bcmp are not the same thing.  'man bcmp' states that the return is
"non-zero" if the two byte strings are not identical.  Where as,
'man memcmp' states that the return is the "difference between the
first two differing bytes (treated as unsigned char values" if the
two byte strings are not identical.

So provide a proper memcmp(9), but it is a C implementation not a tuned
assembly implementation.  Therefore bcmp(9) should be preferred over memcmp(9).
