Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] rps: consistent rxhash

In case we compute a software skb->rxhash, we can generate a consistent
hash : Its value will be the same in both flow directions.

This helps some workloads, like conntracking, since the same state needs
to be accessed in both directions.

tbench + RFS + this patch gives better results than tbench with default
kernel configuration (no RPS, no RFS)

Also fixed some sparse warnings.
