+/* 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.
