C P6: 2.7 cycles/limb
C The K7 code runs quite well on P6, but this seems mainly due to the larger
C amount of unrolling than in mpn/x86/aors_n.asm.
C
C P6 apparently doesn't separately rename the carry flag, or something, so a
C loop holding a carry across decl or incl takes 4 cycles for the loop
C control. Perhaps it's more when relying on out-of-order execution to hide
C load latencies too.
C
C Not sure what the best approach would be. sbbl then addl to save and
C restore the carry across the loop control would be a possibility. A
C couple of experiments didn't get much joy, but such an approach would at
C least avoid serialization, presumably.
