This improves the performance for byte.Compare by rewriting the cmpbody function in runtime/asm_ppc64x.s. The previous code had a simple loop which loaded a pair of bytes and compared them, which is inefficient for long buffers. The updated function checks for 8 or 32 byte chunks and then loads and compares double words where possible. Because the byte.Compare result indicates greater or less than, the doubleword loads must take endianness into account, using a byte reversed load in the little endian case.
