Ah, oops, thanks for spotting that one.

We cannot.  That was my first attempt and we have a handful of active (I
checked) boards with tiny enough SPL constraints that switching to the
optimized memcpy/memset push them over size limit and they do not have a
"something" to disable to gain the space back.  So I went with asking
for asking for a conversion to enable by default these options as widely
as possible as it's a good thing by and (no pun intended) large.
