There are already generic C implementations for memcpy/memmove/memset at 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13-rc7/source/lib/string.c#L871 but 
are doing one byte at a time, I suggest you update them to do 
word-by-word copy instead of introducing yet another memcpy/memmove C 
implementation on arch/riscv/.
