20 /* Fill a block of memory with zeros. Optimized for the Alpha architecture:
22 - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
23 - destination memory not read unless needed for good cache behaviour
24 - basic blocks arranged to optimize branch prediction for full-quadword
25 aligned memory blocks.
26 - partial head and tail quadwords constructed with byte-mask instructions
28 This is generally scheduled for the EV5 (got to look out for my own
29 interests :-), but with EV4 needs in mind. There *should* be no more
30 stalls for the EV4 than there are for the EV5.
41 /* There is a problem with either gdb (as of 4.16) or gas (as of 2.7) that
42 doesn't like putting the entry point for a procedure somewhere in the
43 middle of the procedure descriptor. Work around this by putting the main
44 loop in its own procedure descriptor. */
