+ * 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.
