The x86 memcpy() implementation did not mention its implicit output registers ESI, EDI and ECX which might make this code miscompile when the compiler uses the value of EDI for the return value *after* the 'rep movsb' has completed. That would break the API of memcpy as this would return 'dst+len' instead of 'dst'. Fix this possible bug by removing the wrong comment and listing all output registers as such (using dummy stack variables that get optimized away). Also the leading 'cld' is superflous as the ABI mandates the direction flag to be cleared all the time when we're in C (see <http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/changes.html>) and we have no ASM call sites that might require it to be cleared explicitly (SMM might come to mind, but it clears the DF itself before passing control to the C part of the SMI handler). Last but not least fix the prototype to match the one from <string.h>.
