  Modified files:
    lib/libc/amd64/string bcmp.S 
    sys/amd64/amd64      support.S 
  Log:
  Eliminate a conditional branch and as a side-effect eliminate a branch to
  a return instruction.  (The latter is discouraged by the Opteron
  optimization manual because it disables branch prediction for the return
  instruction.)
