// Strlen, optimized for PPC.  We use an inobvious but very efficient
// word-parallel test for 0-bytes: 
// 
//	y =  dataWord + 0xFEFEFEFF
//	z = ~dataWord & 0x80808080
//	if ( y & z ) = 0 then all bytes in dataWord are non-zero
//
// The test maps any non-zero byte to zeros and any zero byte to 0x80,
// with one exception: 0x01 bytes preceeding the first zero are also
// mapped to 0x80.  Using altivec is another possibility, but it turns
// out that the overhead of maintaining VRSAVE and dealing with edge
// cases pushes the crossover point out to around 30 bytes... longer
// the the "typical" operand length.
//
// In 64-bit mode, the algorithm is doubleword parallel.
