/* Finds length of a 0-terminated string.  Optimized for the Alpha
   architecture:

      - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
      - uses cmpbge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
      - does binary search to find 0 byte in last quadword (HAKMEM
	needed 12 instructions to do this instead of the 8 instructions
	that the binary search needs).
