+ * arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strlen.S
+ * 21264 version by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
+ *
+ * Finds length of a 0-terminated string. Optimized for the
+ * Alpha architecture:
+ *
+ * - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
+ * - uses bcmpge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
+ *
+ * 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
