Subject: Re: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v8 2/7] TCPCT part 1b: generate Responder
 Cookie secret

Define (missing) hash message size for SHA1.

Define hashing size constants specific to TCP cookies.

Add new function: tcp_cookie_generator().

Maintain global secret values for tcp_cookie_generator().

This is a significantly revised implementation of earlier (15-year-old)
Photuris [RFC-2522] code for the KA9Q cooperative multitasking platform.

Linux RCU technique appears to be well-suited to this application, though
neither of the circular queue items are freed.

These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.
