/*
 * Portable strlen() for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
 *
 * Rationale: it is generally much more efficient to do word length
 * operations and avoid branches on modern computer systems, as
 * compared to byte-length operations with a lot of branches.
 *
 * The expression:
 *
 *	((x - 0x01....01) & ~x & 0x80....80)
 *
 * would evaluate to a non-zero value iff any of the bytes in the
 * original word is zero.
 *
 * On multi-issue processors, we can divide the above expression into:
 *	a)  (x - 0x01....01)
 *	b) (~x & 0x80....80)
 *	c) a & b
 *
 * Where, a) and b) can be partially computed in parallel.
 *
 * The algorithm above is found on "Hacker's Delight" by
 * Henry S. Warren, Jr.
