Bruce Evans 828f7b4a82 Rearrange the polynomial evaluation for better parallelism. This is
faster on all machines tested (old Celeron (P2), A64 (amd64 and i386)
and ia64) except on ia64 when compiled with -O1.  It takes 2 more
multiplications, so it will be slower on old machines.  The speedup
is about 8 cycles = 17% on A64 (amd64 and i386) with best CFLAGS
and some parallelism in the caller.

Move the evaluation of 2**k up a bit so that it doesn't compete too
much with the new polynomial evaluation.  Unlike the previous
optimization, this rearrangement cannot change the result, so compilers
and CPU schedulers can do it, but they don't do it quite right yet.
This saves a whole 1 or 2 cycles on A64.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
