/* The algorithm here uses the following techniques:

   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 + 0xfefefeff) & ~(x | 0x7f7f7f7f), which gives 0x00000000 when
      there were no 0x00 bytes in the word.

   2) Given a word 'x', we can test to see _which_ byte was zero by
      calculating ~(((x & 0x7f7f7f7f) + 0x7f7f7f7f) | x | 0x7f7f7f7f).
      This produces 0x80 in each byte that was zero, and 0x00 in all
      the other bytes. The '| 0x7f7f7f7f' 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.
