Do you imagine a case where a system with lookup3() communicates with
another one with lookup2() and they want to exchange data identified by
the hash keys? But the normal approach is to use a random seed (initval),
so even two systems with lookup2() won't generate the same hash value for
the same key.
Grepping through the whole kernel, at a lot of places jhash used with zero
initval. :-(.
Sure, it's safer to add a new header file instead, see below.

It's the new arbitrary value, taken from the original source :-).
----
The current jhash.h implements the lookup2() hash function by Bob Jenkins.
However, lookup2() is outdated as Bob wrote a new hash function called
lookup3(). The new hash function
- mixes better than lookup2(): it passes the check that every input bit
changes every output bit 50% of the time, while lookup2() failed it.
- performs better: compiled with -O2 on Core2 Duo, lookup3() 20-40% faster
than lookup2() depending on the key length.
The patch adds jhash3.h which implements the lookup3() function(s) for
the Linux kernel.
