The mem\* routines are part of the C standard and should be available
from within the kernel.  I don't think that a piece of code that runs
on multiple platforms should have to role their own mem\* routines.
If you don't like what Poul-Henning did, then implement something better,
but the old situation where modules would compile with some compiler
options and not others is not acceptable.
