+ * pattern_check(buf, buflen, pat, patlen, patshift)
+ *
+ * Check a buffer of length buflen against repeated occurrances of
+ * a pattern whose length is patlen.  Patshift can be used to rotate
+ * the pattern by patshift bytes to the left.
+ *
+ * Patshift may be greater than patlen, the pattern will be rotated by
+ * (patshift % patshift) bytes.
+ *
+ * pattern_check returns -1 if the buffer does not contain repeated
+ * occurrances of the indicated pattern (shifted by patshift).
+ *
+ * The algorithm used to check the buffer relies on the fact that buf is
+ * supposed to be repeated copies of pattern.  The basic algorithm is
+ * to validate the first patlen bytes of buf against the pat argument
+ * passed in - then validate the next patlen bytes against the 1st patlen
+ * bytes - the next (2*patlen) bytes against the 1st (2*pathen) bytes, and
+ * so on.  This algorithm only works when the assumption of a buffer full
+ * of repeated copies of a pattern holds, and gives MUCH better results
+ * then walking the buffer byte by byte.
+ *
+ * Performance wise, It appears to be about 5% slower than doing a straight
+ * memcmp of 2 buffers, but the big win is that it does not require a
+ * 2nd comparison buffer, only the pattern.
