I was afraid something like that would show up.

Btw, in looking at this more and IINM, we use the REP MOVSQ version on
AMD anyway because of X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD being set on some K8 and
everything from F10h on.

So, actually this µbenchmark should be comparing the REP MOVSQ case too
and the changes to the unrolled copy_page shouldn't concern AMD boxes
actually...

Hmm.
