- - If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at

- the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
- After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1. After
- step 3, the result is 0. And no carry is produced.
- So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
- Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
- significant zero byte. Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
- j-1 and a 0x80 at position j. We cannot predict the result at the more
- significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
