/*
* arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strcat.S
* 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
*
* Append a null-terminated string from SRC to DST.
*
* 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.
* Commentary: It seems bogus to walk the input string twice - once
* to determine the length, and then again while doing the copy.
* A significant (future) enhancement would be to only read the input
* string once.
