AFAIK, memcpy itself optimizes: once it gets to aligned address, it
starts copying words instead of bytes.  So I'm not sure we need either
#ifdef or the run-time condition.  I suggest to time both variants on
x86 architecture, to see whether there's any performance hit due to
use of memcpy, and if not, use memcpy always -- it will let us have
the cake and eat it, too.
