I am not saying the memcmp's I did not touch have to be memcmp and cannot
be changed to bcmp().

They are not random, but the set of memcmp uses in $ARCH/$ARCH that did
not depend on the memcmp behavior, and are pure BSD files and thus bcmp()
usage should not upset anyone.  I did not touch drivers that may be
trying to share code or otherwise have minimal changes.
