x86: Adding an upper bound for Enhanced REP MOVSB.
In the process of optimizing memcpy for AMD machines, we have found the vector move operations are outperforming enhanced REP MOVSB for data transfers above the L2 cache size on Zen3 architectures. To handle this use case, we are adding an upper bound parameter on enhanced REP MOVSB:'__x86_rep_movsb_stop_threshold'. As per large-bench results, we are configuring this parameter to the L2 cache size for AMD machines and applicable from Zen3 architecture supporting the ERMS feature. For architectures other than AMD, it is the computed value of non-temporal threshold parameter. Reviewed-by:Premachandra Mallappa <premachandra.mallappa@amd.com> (cherry picked from commit 6e02b3e9)
