The qemu implementation does indeed do it the hard way. It's a lot of code: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/util/buff...

Interestingly, we used to have a special-case aarch64 version, but we dropped it because the C version was faster: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/2250d3a293d36e...

(Might or might not still be true on more modern aarch64 hardware...)

Does your memset version beat QEMU's plain-old-C fallback version ?
