I'm running Left4Dead2 under wine with Gallium Nine. The game has a `timedemo`
option where it could replay a previously `record`-ed gameplay, so the
benchmark is consistent.
I run it in a window, so I could watch the terminal with `perf top`.
When the problem is present, memcpy() is always the first with 25% usage, while
everything else is less than 2%.
I have to point out that I do run 64bit kernel, I just need the 32 bit
libraries, since the game is 32bit.

_mesa_streaming_load_memcpy() is a little problematic to test, since it is
written in intrinsic and I'm compiling for i486 (that's what my distribution
does). The function also has strong requirement for alignment of both src&dst,
and could fall back to regular memcpy().
Still its existence is proof that there is need for such functionality.
