Add an optimized mm_zero_struct_page(), so struct page's are zeroed without
calling memset(). We do eight to ten regular stores based on the size of
struct page. Compiler optimizes out the conditions of switch() statement.
SPARC-M6 with 15T of memory, single thread performance:

FIX: This patch series without "optimized struct page zeroing"
OPTIMIZED_FIX: This patch series including the current patch.
bootmem_init() is where memory for struct pages is zeroed during
allocation. Note, about two seconds in this function is a fixed time: it
does not increase as memory is increased.
