[PATCH v2 0/6] Miscellaneous speedup patches

[Paolo Bonzini]

Overall, they provide a 15% improvement for my favorite testcase (QEMU's
"no-op" build).  These were first sent out last November, but there
have been quite a few changes since then:

- I have dropped the SSE-optimized replacement for strpbrk, because
  it does not provide any improvement when tested with a newer glibc.

- the improved hash function is now used for all case-insensitive
  hash tables, including those with NUL-terminated keys.

- there are two new minor optimizations (patches 3 and 6)

The benchmarks were rerun with a newer version of QEMU that has an
improved Makefile.  For this reason the times are lower and the speedup
from patch 5 is smaller than I had reported for v1.
