'count' should be 'n'.

Also, please split this into two patches -- one for fixing memmove, and
the other for re-enabling the alias avoidance in memcpy.

Nevermind, the patch doesn't actually contain the x86/mem patch.

It's rather confusing to put "re-active patch id
a1e5278e40f16a4611264f8da9e557c16cb6f6ed" for a patch that was caught in
testing rather than ever included; it doesn't even exist under that
patch ID anymore.
