The alignment preference for 32-bit MOVSL based bulk memory move has been 8-byte for a long time. However this preference is only set for Family 6 and 15 processors. Use the same preference for upcoming Family numbers 18 and 19. Also, use a simpler VFM based check instead of switching based on Family numbers. Refresh the comment to reflect the new check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
