//
// Theory of operations:
//	- we check whether or not the buffer is small, i.e., less than 17
//	  in which case we do the byte by byte loop.
//
//	- Otherwise we go progressively from 1 byte store to 8byte store in
//	  the head part, the body is a 16byte store loop and we finish we the
//	  tail for the last 15 bytes.
//	  The good point about this breakdown is that the long buffer handling
//	  contains only 2 branches.
//
//	The reason for not using shifting & masking for both the head and the
//	tail is to stay semantically correct. This routine is not supposed
//	to write bytes outside of the buffer. While most of the time this would
//	be ok, we can't tolerate a mistake. A classical example is the case
//	of multithreaded code were to the extra bytes touched is actually owned
//	by another thread which runs concurrently to ours. Another, less likely,
//	example is with device drivers where reading an I/O mapped location may
//	have side effects (same thing for writing).
