What is the fastest way to fill a linear array of bytes with zero, given the
following conditions:
1.  Intel PII or higher CPU
2.  Guarantee that the number of bytes is an even number?

I am porting a chess program, and memset() is the bottleneck.  I don't need to
memset an arbitrary character.  It's always zero.
