I suspect you'll need this one which came as part of the strscpy() series

commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2
Author: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Apr 29 12:48:40 2015 -0400

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.
