rGfc19e3cb4fd1: libc/string/memset.c: Use unsigned long for stores
rGab147542b7c0: libc/string/memset.c: Use unsigned long for stores
Summary

While most 64-bit architectures have an assembly implementation of this
file, RISC-V does not. As we now store 8 bytes instead of 4 it should speed
up RISC-V.

Would (u)intptr_t make more sense so it's faster on CHERI? Doesn't make a difference upstream but does to us.

I thought about that, but that would require additional changes to create an all-ones capability register.

Did you considered lowering 3 to e.g. 2?

This might make sense but I feel uncomfortable making that change without benchmarks.
