/*
 * Fast strcmp.  This works one int at a time, using aligned pointers
 * if possible, misaligned pointers if necessary.  To avoid taking
 * faults from going off the end of a page, the code is careful to go
 * a byte-at-a-time when a misaligned pointer is near a page boundary.
 * The code is almost portable, but see the assumptions below.
 */

/*
 * ASSUMPTIONS:
 * sizeof (int) is not greater than 8.
 * sizeof (int) is a power of 2.
 * An int pointer can always be dereferenced even if it is not properly
 *   aligned (though aligned references are assumed to be faster).
 * It is OK to assign bogus values to a pointer (in particular, a
 *   value that is before the beginning of the string) as long as that
 *   pointer is only used with indices big enough to bring us back into
 *   the string.
 * It is OK to reference bytes past the end of a string as long as we
 *   don't cross a page boundary.

/*
 * This strange expression will test to see if *any* byte in the int is

 * The two arguments are actually two copies of the same value; this
 * allows the compiler freedom to play with both values for efficiency.
