  10 * Conventional binary search loop looks like this:
  11 *
  12 *      do {
  13 *              int mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
  14 *              int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
  15 *              if (!cmp)
  16 *                      return (mi is the wanted one)
  17 *              if (cmp > 0)
  18 *                      hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
  19 *              else
  20 *                      lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
  21 *      } while (lo < hi);
  22 *
  23 * The invariants are:
  24 *
  25 * - When entering the loop, lo points at a slot that is never
  26 *   above the target (it could be at the target), hi points at a
  27 *   slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can never
  28 *   be at the target).
  29 *
  30 * - We find a point 'mi' between lo and hi (mi could be the same
  31 *   as lo, but never can be the same as hi), and check if it hits
  32 *   the target.  There are three cases:
  33 *
  34 *    - if it is a hit, we are happy.
  35 *
  36 *    - if it is strictly higher than the target, we update hi with
  37 *      it.
  38 *
  39 *    - if it is strictly lower than the target, we update lo to be
  40 *      one slot after it, because we allow lo to be at the target.
  41 *
  42 * When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
  43 * anywhere in between lo and hi, as long as lo <= mi < hi is
  44 * satisfied.  When we somehow know that the distance between the
  45 * target and lo is much shorter than the target and hi, we could
  46 * pick mi that is much closer to lo than the midway.

 106 * Conventional binary search loop looks like this:

 120 * The invariants are:
 121 *
 122 * - When entering the loop, lo points at a slot that is never
 123 *   above the target (it could be at the target), hi points at a
 124 *   slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can never
 125 *   be at the target).
 126 *
 127 * - We find a point 'mi' between lo and hi (mi could be the same
 128 *   as lo, but never can be as same as hi), and check if it hits
 129 *   the target.  There are three cases:
 130 *
 131 *    - if it is a hit, we are happy.
 132 *
 133 *    - if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to hi,
 134 *      and repeat the search.
 135 *
 136 *    - if it is strictly lower than the target, we update lo to
 137 *      one slot after it, because we allow lo to be at the target.
 138 *
 139 *   If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.
 140 *
 141 * When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
 142 * anywhere in between lo and hi, as long as lo <= mi < hi is
 143 * satisfied.  When we somehow know that the distance between the
 144 * target and lo is much shorter than the target and hi, we could
 145 * pick mi that is much closer to lo than the midway.
 146 *
 147 * Now, we can take advantage of the fact that SHA-1 is a good hash
 148 * function, and as long as there are enough entries in the table, we
 149 * can expect uniform distribution.  An entry that begins with for
 150 * example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much later than in
 151 * the midway of the table.  It can reasonably be expected to be near
 152 * 87% (222/256) from the top of the table.
 153 *
 154 * However, we do not want to pick "mi" too precisely.  If the entry at
 155 * the 87% in the above example turns out to be higher than the target
 156 * we are looking for, we would end up narrowing the search space down
 157 * only by 13%, instead of 50% we would get if we did a simple binary
 158 * search.  So we would want to hedge our bets by being less aggressive.
 159 *
 160 * The table at "table" holds at least "nr" entries of "elem_size"
 161 * bytes each.  Each entry has the SHA-1 key at "key_offset".  The
 162 * table is sorted by the SHA-1 key of the entries.  The caller wants
 163 * to find the entry with "key", and knows that the entry at "lo" is
 164 * not higher than the entry it is looking for, and that the entry at
 165 * "hi" is higher than the entry it is looking for.
