[Bug rtl-optimization/21329] New: optimize i386 block copy

["vda at port dot imtp dot ilyichevsk dot odessa dot ua" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

gcc generates suboptimal i386 block copy code, like this:
        movl    $9, %ecx
        rep
        movsb
or this:
        movl    $2, %ecx
        rep
        movsl
        movsw

Such short copies can be done with few movsl's instead.
Patch is attached. Note that I am not familiar with gcc
internals at all, so take it with reasonable suspicion.
