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