Use REP MOVSB/STOSB when the ERMSB feature is present (#392)

* Reorganize mem functions

This reduces the amount of platform-specific code

Signed-off-by: Joe Richey <[email protected]>

* Use ERMSB implementations if the feature is set

Signed-off-by: Joe Richey <[email protected]>

* Add non-aligned benchmarks
