/* This version is especially optimized for the i586 (and following?)
   processors.  This is mainly done by using the two pipelines.  The
   version optimized for i486 is weak in this aspect because to get
   as much parallelism we have to executs some *more* instructions.

   The code below is structured to reflect the pairing of the instructions
   as *I think* it is.  I have no processor data book to verify this.
   If you find something you think is incorrect let me know.  */

      /* We exit the loop if adding MAGIC_BITS to LONGWORD fails to
	 change any of the hole bits of LONGWORD.

	 1) Is this safe?  Will it catch all the zero bytes?
	 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros.  Any carry bits
	 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
	 least significant bit and stop.  Since there will be no
	 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
	 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
	 detected.

	 2) Is this worthwhile?  Will it ignore everything except
	 zero bytes?  Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
	 somewhere.  There will be a carry into bit 8.	If bit 8
	 is set, this will carry into bit 16.  If bit 8 is clear,
	 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
	 into bit 16.  Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
	 24.  If one of bits 24-31 is set, there will be a carry
	 into bit 32 (=carry flag), so all of the hole bits will
	 be changed.  */
