* arch/alpha/lib/ev6-memchr.S
*
* 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
*
* Finds characters in a memory area. Optimized for the Alpha:
*
* - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
* - uses cmpbge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
* - does binary search to find 0 byte in last
* quadword (HAKMEM needed 12 instructions to
* do this instead of the 9 instructions that
* binary search needs).
*
* For correctness consider that:
*
* - only minimum number of quadwords may be accessed
* - the third argument is an unsigned long
*
* Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
* Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
* abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
* ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
* Scheduling notation:
* E - either cluster
* U - upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
* L - lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
* Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
