18/* Finds length of a 0-terminated string. Optimized for the Alpha
19 architecture:
20
21 - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
22 - uses cmpbge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
23 - does binary search to find 0 byte in last quadword (HAKMEM
24 needed 12 instructions to do this instead of the 8 instructions
25 that the binary search needs).
