Subject: [PATCH v3 09/10] microblaze: Add <asm/hash.h>
Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways.
If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32()
will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop.
Instead, use a shift-and-add sequence for the constant multiply.
GCC knows how to do this, but it's not as clever as some.

+ * Fortunately, most people who want to run Linux on Microblaze enable
+ * both multiplier and barrel shifter, but omitting them is technically
+ * a supported configuration.
+ *
+ * With just a barrel shifter, we can implement an efficient constant
+ * multiply using shifts and adds. GCC can find a 9-step solution, but
+ * this 6-step solution was found by Yevgen Voronenko's implementation
+ * of the Hcub algorithm at http://spiral.ece.cmu.edu/mcm/gen.html.
+ *
+ * That software is really not designed for a single multiplier this large,
+ * but if you run it enough times with different seeds, it'll find several
+ * 6-shift, 6-add sequences for computing x * 0x61C88647. They are all
+ * c = (x << 19) + x;
+ * a = (x << 9) + c;
+ * b = (x << 23) + a;
+ * return (a<<11) + (b<<6) + (c<<3) - b;
+ * with variations on the order of the final add.
+ *
+ * Without even a shifter, it's hopless; any hash function will suck.
