There can be a significant gap in memset/memcpy performance depending
on the size of the region being operated on.
With chunk-size=4kb:
$ echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
$ perf bench mem memset -p 4kb -k 4kb -s 4gb -l 10 -f x86-64-stosq
# Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
# function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
# Copying 4gb bytes ...
13.011655 GB/sec
With chunk-size=1gb:
$ echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
$ perf bench mem memset -p 4kb -k 1gb -s 4gb -l 10 -f x86-64-stosq
# Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
# function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
# Copying 4gb bytes ...
21.936355 GB/sec
So, allow the user to specify the chunk-size.
The default value is identical to the total size of the region, which
preserves current behaviour.
