Adapting to a specific processor

[Manfred Nowak]

AMD recommends some coding styles like:

- favor conditional execution instructions over branches
- make code paths as straight as possible
- avoid using more than two branches per 16 byte window, in case of
  poor temporal locality
- in general, avoid using more than three branches per 16 byte window
- use far branches only when absolutely necessary
- limit recursivity to a single call site
- ensure that for each call a corresponding return exists
- avoid having code and data mixed up in the same cache line
- dont use self modifying code
