/*
* strlen.S (c) 1995 David Mosberger (davidm@cs.arizona.edu)
*
* 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
* - 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).
