/*
* Algorithm:
*
* 1) Given a word 'x', we can test to see if it contains any 0 bytes
* by subtracting 0x01010101, and seeing if any of the high bits of each
* byte changed from 0 to 1. This works because the least significant
* 0 byte must have had no incoming carry (otherwise it's not the least
* significant), so it is 0x00 - 0x01 == 0xff. For all other
* byte values, either they have the high bit set initially, or when
* 1 is subtracted you get a value in the range 0x00-0x7f, none of which
* have their high bit set. The expression here is
* (x - 0x01010101) & ~x & 0x80808080), which gives 0x00000000 when
* there were no 0x00 bytes in the word. You get 0x80 in bytes that
* match, but possibly false 0x80 matches in the next more significant
* byte to a true match due to carries. For little-endian this is
* of no consequence since the least significant match is the one
* we're interested in, but big-endian needs method 2 to find which
* byte matches.
* 2) Given a word 'x', we can test to see _which_ byte was zero by
* calculating ~(((x & ~0x80808080) - 0x80808080 - 1) | x | ~0x80808080).
* This produces 0x80 in each byte that was zero, and 0x00 in all
* the other bytes. The '| ~0x80808080' clears the low 7 bits in each
* byte, and the '| x' part ensures that bytes with the high bit set
* produce 0x00. The addition will carry into the high bit of each byte
* iff that byte had one of its low 7 bits set. We can then just see
* which was the most significant bit set and divide by 8 to find how
* many to add to the index.
* This is from the book 'The PowerPC Compiler Writer's Guide',
* by Steve Hoxey, Faraydon Karim, Bill Hay and Hank Warren.
