+/* Fill a block of memory with zeros.  Optimized for the Alpha architecture:
+
+   - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
+   - destination memory not read unless needed for good cache behaviour
+   - basic blocks arranged to optimize branch prediction for full-quadword
+     aligned memory blocks.
+   - partial head and tail quadwords constructed with byte-mask instructions
+
+   This is generally scheduled for the EV5 (got to look out for my own
+   interests :-), but with EV4 needs in mind.  There *should* be no more
+   stalls for the EV4 than there are for the EV5.
