/* 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).  */
