Also, it looks like you've removed support for mambo_memcpy(). I don't

you could rename the function while you're in there. :)

if we get these down to dcbz's then system performance is fine and am
happy to drop.

I think you're saying that if we have a clear_page() loop that uses
dcbz, systemsim performance is fine. Is that correct?
yes

Is that also the case for copy_page()?

Thats not to say that there aren't any opportunities to use it.
