// Computing z = addsrc + m*mulsrc + a, we need:

//		lo, carry = bits.Add(lo, a, 0)
//		lo, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo, addsrc[i], 0)
//		z[i] = lo
//		a = hi + carry + carryAlt  // cannot overflow
//	}
//
// The final addition cannot overflow because after processing N words,
// the maximum possible value is (for a 64-bit system):
//
//	  (2**64N - 1) + (2**64 - 1)*(2**64N - 1) + (2**64 - 1)
//	= (2**64)*(2**64N - 1) + (2**64 - 1)
//	= 2**64(N+1) - 1,
//
// which fits in N+1 words (the high order one being the new value of a).
//
// (For example, with 3 decimal words, 999 + 9*999 + 9 = 999*10 + 9 = 9999.)
//
// If we unroll the loop a bit, then we can chain the carries in two passes.
// Consider:
//
//	lo0, hi0 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo0, carry = bits.Add(lo0, a, 0)
//	lo0, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo0, addsrc[i], 0)
//	z[i] = lo0
//	a = hi + carry + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
//	lo1, hi1 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo1, carry = bits.Add(lo1, a, 0)
//	lo1, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo1, addsrc[i], 0)
//	z[i] = lo1
//	a = hi + carry + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
//	lo2, hi2 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo2, carry = bits.Add(lo2, a, 0)
//	lo2, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo2, addsrc[i], 0)
//	z[i] = lo2
//	a = hi + carry + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
//	lo3, hi3 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo3, carry = bits.Add(lo3, a, 0)
//	lo3, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo3, addsrc[i], 0)
//	z[i] = lo3
//	a = hi + carry + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
// There are three ways we can optimize this sequence.
//
// (1) Reordering, we can chain carries so that we can use one hardware carry flag
// but amortize the cost of saving and restoring it across multiple instructions:
//
//	// multiply
//	lo0, hi0 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo1, hi1 := m * mulsrc[i+1]
//	lo2, hi2 := m * mulsrc[i+2]
//	lo3, hi3 := m * mulsrc[i+3]
//
//	lo0, carry = bits.Add(lo0, a, 0)
//	lo1, carry = bits.Add(lo1, hi0, carry)
//	lo2, carry = bits.Add(lo2, hi1, carry)
//	lo3, carry = bits.Add(lo3, hi2, carry)
//	a = hi3 + carry // cannot overflow
//
//	// add
//	lo0, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo0, addsrc[i], 0)
//	lo1, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo1, addsrc[i+1], carryAlt)
//	lo2, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo2, addsrc[i+2], carryAlt)
//	lo3, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo3, addrsc[i+3], carryAlt)
//	a = a + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
//	z[i] = lo0
//	z[i+1] = lo1
//	z[i+2] = lo2
//	z[i+3] = lo3
//
// addMul takes this approach, using the hardware carry flag
// first for carry and then for carryAlt.
//
// (2) addMulAlt assumes there are two hardware carry flags available.
// It dedicates one each to carry and carryAlt, so that a multi-block
// unrolling can keep the flags in hardware across all the blocks.
// So even if the block size is 1, the code can do:
//
//	// multiply and add
//	lo0, hi0 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo0, carry = bits.Add(lo0, a, 0)
//	lo0, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo0, addsrc[i], 0)
//	z[i] = lo0
//
//	lo1, hi1 := m * mulsrc[i+1]
//	lo1, carry = bits.Add(lo1, hi0, carry)
//	lo1, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo1, addsrc[i+1], carryAlt)
//	z[i+1] = lo1
//
//	lo2, hi2 := m * mulsrc[i+2]
//	lo2, carry = bits.Add(lo2, hi1, carry)
//	lo2, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo2, addsrc[i+2], carryAlt)
//	z[i+2] = lo2
//
//	lo3, hi3 := m * mulsrc[i+3]
//	lo3, carry = bits.Add(lo3, hi2, carry)
//	lo3, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo3, addrsc[i+3], carryAlt)
//	z[i+3] = lo2
//
//	a = hi3 + carry + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
// (3) addMulVirtualCarry optimizes for systems with explicitly computed carry bits
// (loong64, mips, riscv64), cutting the number of actual instructions almost by half.
// Look again at the original word-at-a-time version:
//
//	lo1, hi1 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo1, carry = bits.Add(lo1, a, 0)
//	lo1, carryAlt = bits.Add(lo1, addsrc[i], 0)
//	z[i] = lo1
//	a = hi + carry + carryAlt // cannot overflow
//
// Although it uses four adds per word, those are cheap adds: the two bits.Add adds
// use two instructions each (ADD+SLTU) and the final + adds only use one ADD each,
// for a total of 6 instructions per word. In contrast, the middle stanzas in (2) use
// only two “adds” per word, but these are SetCarry|UseCarry adds, which compile to
// five instruction each, for a total of 10 instructions per word. So the word-at-a-time
// loop is actually better. And we can reorder things slightly to use only a single carry bit:
//
//	lo1, hi1 := m * mulsrc[i]
//	lo1, carry = bits.Add(lo1, a, 0)
//	a = hi + carry
//	lo1, carry = bits.Add(lo1, addsrc[i], 0)
//	a = a + carry
//	z[i] = lo1
