If you'd read the abstract more carefully, you would see it
is not a patent on "aligned memcpy".
The key sentence is:
"For handling data block transfers of various
sizes and locations, the method is implemented in a compiler that
compiles different portions of code at run time into a block of code
that is then immediately executed."
