+/*
+ * 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.
