// Theory of operations:
// - we check whether or not the buffer is small, i.e., less than 17
// in which case we do the byte by byte loop.
//
// - Otherwise we go progressively from 1 byte store to 8byte store in
// the head part, the body is a 16byte store loop and we finish we the
// tail for the last 15 bytes.
// The good point about this breakdown is that the long buffer handling
// contains only 2 branches.
//
// The reason for not using shifting & masking for both the head and the
// tail is to stay semantically correct. This routine is not supposed
// to write bytes outside of the buffer. While most of the time this would
// be ok, we can't tolerate a mistake. A classical example is the case
// of multithreaded code were to the extra bytes touched is actually owned
// by another thread which runs concurrently to ours. Another, less likely,
// example is with device drivers where reading an I/O mapped location may
// have side effects (same thing for writing).

// We need to keep track of the remaining length. A possible (optimistic)

// every iteration.
// However we need to keep the synchronization point. A template

// extra cycle cost (use a nop slot anyway). It also simplifies the
