Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+/*
+ * arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strlen.S
+ * 21264 version by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
+ *
+ * Finds length of a 0-terminated string.  Optimized for the
+ * Alpha architecture:
+ *
+ *	- memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
+ *	- uses bcmpge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
+ *
+ * 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
