As it should be!  nothing in the (nebulous) kernel interface says that
'memset' is a function that should be used in the kernel, and it
should not be.

If you want to change all of the bcopy/bzero instances to mem*
equivalents, that's one thing, but don't add new functions to the
kernel because somebody screwed up some new code that they wrote.
