include: import Linux word-at-a-time.h
The Linux <linux/word-at-a-time.h> interface is used to optimize
searching for bytes in strings by doing word-size comparisons. This will
be used in the implementation of strscpy in a follow-up commit, so
import the generic version here.
A good overview on the interface is available at LWN[1]. Note that
it discuss Linux v3.5. The asm-generic version imported here works
also on little-endian and not only big-endian[2].

available on all architectures").
