/*
 * 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.
