Thanks for the feedback Dave.

Given that these are non-trivial knobs to configure at runtime, I think
that I'll degenerate them to sane defaults for the initial submission
and figure out what interface makes sense afterwards.

Now that I have your attention ;)
I would love you to look at skb_copy_and_hash_datagram_iter as these
changes will require an ack from you.
