Actually I didn't measure the memcpy performance on all ARM SoCs.
I just measured it with internal memcpy() benchmark on Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15.
ldrd/strd is faster than ldm/stm on cortex-a15.
And it's similar on cortex-a9.
I will try again this patch gives meaningful effect to the targeted ARM SoCs

Thank you for your reply.
