	Maybe.  

	The layer3+4 algorithm in particular was set up to purposely
mimic the algorithm on specific switches.  I'm not sure if there are
users who have dependencies on any of the algorithms being a precise
match for a switch's algorithm (in order to have both directions of a
given flow end up on the same slave).

	Will the jhash preserve 802.3ad packet ordering requirements for
the layer2 and layer2+3 options (this is the property that all packets
for a given flow will be sent over the same slave)?

	How does the computational expense for the jhash compare to the
existing XOR stuff?

	I also noted one line, below, that removes whitespace.

	-J

	Why squeeze out the spaces here?
