/*
 * 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.
