The Hyper-V host requires the guest to select channel based on Toeplitz hash, so
we need to compute it on the guest. 

Regarding the Toeplitz function, do you mean this patch?
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/277344/
This doesn't contain the implementation. Could you point me to the actual code?

Thanks,
