-/* The instruction order below is a bit strange, because:
- * 1) Keeping load/stores on longword boundaries means the instruction fetch
- *    won't compete with the memory access (because instructions are fetched
- *    in pairs).
- * 2) Using the result of a fetch in the next instruction causes a stall
- *    (except in certain circumstances).
- * See the SH-1 programming manual for details.
+ * arguments:
+ *  r4 - start address
+ *  r5 - length
+ *
+ * return value: void
+ *
+ * register usage:
+ *  r0 - temporary
+ *  r1 - bit mask for rounding to long bound / low byte (after swap)
+ *  r2 - high byte (after swap) / combined result
+ *  r4 - data address - 4
+ *  r5 - end address - 4
+ *  r7 - flip table (addressing with signed offset)
+ *
+ * The instruction order below is devised in a way to utilize the pipelining
+ * of the SH1 to the max.
