Hi,

I had a look, it seems that it's a C unrolled version with the
'register' keyword.
The same one was already merged in nios2:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/nios2/lib/memcpy.c#L68

I copied _wordcopy_fwd_aligned() from Glibc, and I have a very similar
result of the other versions:

[  563.359126] Strings selftest: memcpy(src+7, dst+7): 257 Mb/s
