PowerPC: strspn optimization for PPC64/POWER7
The optimization is achieved by following techniques: > hashing of needle. > hashing avoids scanning of duplicate entries in needle across the string. > initializing the hash table with Vector instructions (VSX) by quadword access. > unrolling when scanning for character in string across hash table.
