/**
   Compare two blocks of memory for inequality.

   The usage is similar to that of standard memcmp(), but you can only test
   if the memory is equal or not - you can not determine by how much the
   first different byte differs.

   @param a     The first memory region
   @param b     The second memory region
   @param len   The length of the area to compare (octets)

   @return 0 when a and b are equal for len bytes, else they are not equal.
