/*
 * arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strchr.S
 * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <[e-mail]>
 *
 * Return the address of a given character within a null-terminated
 * string, or null if it is not found.
 *
 * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
 *	Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
 *	abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
 *	ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
 * Scheduling notation:
 *	E	- either cluster
 *	U	- upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
 *	L	- lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
 * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
