+/*
+ * McKinley-optimized version of copy_page().
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2002 Hewlett-Packard Co
+ *	David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
+ *
+ * Inputs:
+ *	in0:	address of target page
+ *	in1:	address of source page
+ * Output:
+ *	no return value
+ *
+ * General idea:
+ *	- use regular loads and stores to prefetch data to avoid consuming M-slot just for
+ *	  lfetches => good for in-cache performance
+ *	- avoid l2 bank-conflicts by not storing into the same 16-byte bank within a single
+ *	  cycle
+ *
+ * Principle of operation:
+ *	First, note that L1 has a line-size of 64 bytes and L2 a line-size of 128 bytes.
+ *	To avoid secondary misses in L2, we prefetch both source and destination with a line-size
+ *	of 128 bytes.  When both of these lines are in the L2 and the first half of the
+ *	source line is in L1, we start copying the remaining words.  The second half of the
+ *	source line is prefetched in an earlier iteration, so that by the time we start
+ *	accessing it, it's also present in the L1.
+ *
+ *	We use a software-pipelined loop to control the overall operation.  The pipeline
+ *	has 2*PREFETCH_DIST+K stages.  The first PREFETCH_DIST stages are used for prefetching
+ *	source cache-lines.  The second PREFETCH_DIST stages are used for prefetching destination
+ *	cache-lines, the last K stages are used to copy the cache-line words not copied by
+ *	the prefetches.  The four relevant points in the pipelined are called A, B, C, D:
+ *	p[A] is TRUE if a source-line should be prefetched, p[B] is TRUE if a destination-line
+ *	should be prefetched, p[C] is TRUE if the second half of an L2 line should be brought
+ *	into L1D and p[D] is TRUE if a cacheline needs to be copied.
+ *
+ *	This all sounds very complicated, but thanks to the modulo-scheduled loop support,
+ *	the resulting code is very regular and quite easy to follow (once you get the idea).
+ *
+ *	As a secondary optimization, the first 2*PREFETCH_DIST iterations are implemented
+ *	as the separate .prefetch_loop.  Logically, this loop performs exactly like the
+ *	main-loop (.line_copy), but has all known-to-be-predicated-off instructions removed,
+ *	so that each loop iteration is faster (again, good for cached case).
+ *
+ *	When reading the code, it helps to keep the following picture in mind:
+ *
+ *	       word 0 word 1
+ *            +------+------+---
+ *	      |	v[x] | 	t1  | ^
+ *	      |	t2   |	t3  | |
+ *	      |	t4   |	t5  | |
+ *	      |	t6   |	t7  | | 128 bytes
+ *     	      |	n[y] | 	t9  | |	(L2 cache line)
+ *	      |	t10  | 	t11 | |
+ *	      |	t12  | 	t13 | |
+ *	      |	t14  | 	t15 | v
+ *	      +------+------+---
+ *
+ *	Here, v[x] is copied by the (memory) prefetch.  n[y] is loaded at p[C]
+ *	to fetch the second-half of the L2 cache line into L1, and the tX words are copied in
+ *	an order that avoids bank conflicts.
