Hi All,

This allows copy_blkmode_to_reg to perform larger copies when it is safe to do 
so by calculating
the bitsize per iteration doing the maximum copy allowed that does not read more
than the amount of bits left to copy.

Strictly speaking, this copying is only done if:

  1. the target supports fast unaligned access
  2. no padding is being used.

This should avoid the issues of the first patch (PR85123) but still work for 
targets that are safe
to do so.

Original patch https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-11/msg01088.html
Previous respin https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-04/msg00239.html


This produces for the copying of a 3 byte structure:

fun3:
        adrp    x1, .LANCHOR0
        add     x1, x1, :lo12:.LANCHOR0
        mov     x0, 0
        sub     sp, sp, #16
        ldrh    w2, [x1, 16]
        ldrb    w1, [x1, 18]
        add     sp, sp, 16
        bfi     x0, x2, 0, 16
        bfi     x0, x1, 16, 8
        ret

whereas before it was producing

fun3:
        adrp    x0, .LANCHOR0
        add     x2, x0, :lo12:.LANCHOR0
        sub     sp, sp, #16
        ldrh    w1, [x0, #:lo12:.LANCHOR0]
        ldrb    w0, [x2, 2]
        strh    w1, [sp, 8]
        strb    w0, [sp, 10]
        ldr     w0, [sp, 8]
        add     sp, sp, 16
        ret

Cross compiled and regtested on
  aarch64_be-none-elf
  armeb-none-eabi
and no issues

Boostrapped and regtested
 aarch64-none-linux-gnu
 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
 powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
 arm-none-linux-gnueabihf

and found no issues.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
Tamar
