/* 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 execute 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.
Note: %edx == 0 in any case here. */
