We have to make sure mem functions won't be generated by gcc anywhere
in the ia32 kernel. Otherwise, it will be hard to get modules to work
with symbol versioning since gcc generates those calls after C
preprocessing. Or we can export those mem functions from kernel
unversioned regardless if symbol versioning is enabled or not.

It will be really nice for gcc to inline them like all the previous
versions and/or have a flag to force gcc to issue a warning when mem
functions are generated.
