Calls like that are just abusing the routine and indicate design
problems in the consumer.
Adding the branch into the routine would add overhead for everyone.
However, now that you mention it, it may be prudent to do something like this:
dtrace -n 'fbt::memcpy:entry,fbt::memmove:entry /arg1 == arg2/ {
@[stack()] = count(); }'
and run your favourite workload.
