Move huge chunks of data in kernel...


Hello,

       Anyone know how to move move huge chunks of data in x86 kenel?
       I know I can use %esi and %edi as source and destination and
       use ecx to specify the number of bytes. I am wondering if there
       is any better way of doing it using SSE2 (128 bit) registers?
       Imagine we don't have to worry abt context-switching or saving
registers.
       Any other way of moving huge chunks of data?

Thnx,
Viju
