+//
+// This is an enhanced version of the basic strlen. it includes a combination
+// of compute zero index (czx), parallel comparisons, speculative loads and
+// loop unroll using rotating registers.
+//
+// General Ideas about the algorithm:
+// The goal is to look at the string in chunks of 8 bytes.
+// so we need to do a few extra checks at the beginning because the
+// string may not be 8-byte aligned. In this case we load the 8byte
+// quantity which includes the start of the string and mask the unused
+// bytes with 0xff to avoid confusing czx.
+// We use speculative loads and software pipelining to hide memory
+// latency and do read ahead safely. This way we defer any exception.
+//
+// Because we don't want the kernel to be relying on particular
+// settings of the DCR register, we provide recovery code in case
+// speculation fails. The recovery code is going to "redo" the work using
+// only normal loads. If we still get a fault then we generate a
+// kernel panic. Otherwise we return the strlen as usual.
+//
+// The fact that speculation may fail can be caused, for instance, by
+// the DCR.dm bit being set. In this case TLB misses are deferred, i.e.,
+// a NaT bit will be set if the translation is not present. The normal
+// load, on the other hand, will cause the translation to be inserted
+// if the mapping exists.
+//
+// It should be noted that we execute recovery code only when we need
+// to use the data that has been speculatively loaded: we don't execute
+// recovery code on pure read ahead data.
+//
+// Remarks:
+// - the cmp r0,r0 is used as a fast way to initialize a predicate
+// register to 1. This is required to make sure that we get the parallel
+// compare correct.
+//
+// - we don't use the epilogue counter to exit the loop but we need to set
+// it to zero beforehand.
+//
+// - after the loop we must test for Nat values because neither the
+// czx nor cmp instruction raise a NaT consumption fault. We must be
+// careful not to look too far for a Nat for which we don't care.
+// For instance we don't need to look at a NaT in val2 if the zero byte
+// was in val1.
+//
+// - Clearly performance tuning is required.
