* This strcpy implementation copies a byte at a time until the
* source pointer is aligned to a word boundary, it then copies by
* words until it finds a word containing a zero byte, and finally
* copies by bytes until the end of the string is reached.
*
* While this may result in unaligned stores if the source and
* destination pointers are unaligned with respect to each other,
* it is still faster than either byte copies or the overhead of
* an implementation suitable for machines with strict alignment
* requirements.
