/* Don't change the above `addl $1,%eax' and `subl $1, %ecx' into `incl %eax'
and `decl %ecx' resp. The additional two byte per instruction make the
label 4 to be aligned on a 16 byte boundary with nops.
The following `sub $15, %eax' is part of this trick, too. Together with
the next instruction (`addl $16, %eax') it is in fact a `incl %eax', just
as expected from the algorithm. But doing so has the advantage that
no jump to label 1 is necessary and so the pipeline is not flushed. */
