/* 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.
