+/// \brief Lower the call to 'memset' intrinsic function into a series of store
+/// operations.
+///
+/// \param DAG Selection DAG where lowered code is placed.
+/// \param dl Link to corresponding IR location.
+/// \param Chain Control flow dependency.
+/// \param Dst Pointer to destination memory location.
+/// \param Src Value of byte to write into the memory.
+/// \param Size Number of bytes to write.
+/// \param Align Alignment of the destination in bytes.
+/// \param isVol True if destination is volatile.
+/// \param DstPtrInfo IR information on the memory pointer.
+/// \returns New head in the control flow, if lowering was successful, empty
+/// SDValue otherwise.
+///
+/// The function tries to replace 'llvm.memset' intrinsic with several store
+/// operations and value calculation code. This is usually profitable for small
+/// memory size.
