    i386: Move all simple string operations out of line · b520b85a
    Andi Kleen authored
    The compiler generally generates reasonable inline code for the simple
    cases and for the rest it's better for code size for them to be out of line.
    Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future.
    
    In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure
    assembly, but that's for another day.
    
    Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems
    to be the last untouched really early Linux code)
    
    This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1.
