zram was the motivation for creating memset_l().  Minchan Kim sees a 7%
performance improvement on x86 with 100MB of non-zero deduplicatable
data:

        perf stat -r 10 dd if=/dev/zram0 of=/dev/null

vanilla:        0.232050465 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.51% )
memset_l:	0.217219387 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.07% )
