/*
 * This routine clears to zero a linear memory buffer in user space.
 *
 * Inputs:
 *      in0:    address of buffer
 *      in1:    length of buffer in bytes
 * Outputs:
 *      r8:     number of bytes that didn't get cleared due to a fault

//
// Theory of operations:
//      - we check whether or not the buffer is small, i.e., less than 17
//        in which case we do the byte by byte loop.
//
//      - Otherwise we go progressively from 1 byte store to 8byte store in
//        the head part, the body is a 16byte store loop and we finish we the
//        tail for the last 15 bytes.
//        The good point about this breakdown is that the long buffer handling
//        contains only 2 branches.
//
//      The reason for not using shifting & masking for both the head and the
//      tail is to stay semantically correct. This routine is not supposed
//      to write bytes outside of the buffer. While most of the time this would
//      be ok, we can't tolerate a mistake. A classical example is the case
//      of multithreaded code were to the extra bytes touched is actually owned
//      by another thread which runs concurrently to ours. Another, less likely,
//      example is with device drivers where reading an I/O mapped location may
//      have side effects (same thing for writing).
