So few people know that the --routine option to 'perf bench memcpy/memset'
exists, and would not know that it's capable of testing the kernel's
memcpy/memset implementations.
Furthermore, 'perf bench mem all' will not run all routines:
vega:~> perf bench mem all
# Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc)
# Copying 1MB Bytes ...
894.454383 MB/Sec
3.844734 GB/Sec (with prefault)
# Running mem/memset benchmark...
Routine default (Default memset() provided by glibc)
# Copying 1MB Bytes ...
1.220703 GB/Sec
9.042245 GB/Sec (with prefault)
Because misleadingly the 'all' refers to 'all sub-benchmarks', not 'all
sub-benchmarks and routines'.
Fix all this by making the memcpy/memset routine to default to 'all',
which results in all the benchmarks being run:
triton:~> perf bench mem all
# Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc)
# Copying 1MB Bytes ...
1.448906 GB/Sec
4.957170 GB/Sec (with prefault)

# Copying 1MB Bytes ...
1.614153 GB/Sec

# Copying 1MB Bytes ...
1.570036 GB/Sec
