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!

+/*
+ * 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.
