I'm sorry I haven't replied earlier, but I just got back from vacation.
I also see you've pushed this already.  That said...

As with the power7 patch, I'm all for cleanups, especially if they
simplify things, remove more code than they add, and make things
faster.

The generic implementation being the one in string/strcasestr.c,
correct?  Then how do I read the performance numbers above?

When Raji first added the power8 optimized routine, it was
showing big speedups.  I see that was before Wilco's changes
to the generic routine.  Do you think that was the main
reason why the generic implementation is better now?


Even though it's already pushed...

LGTM.
