Algo is also a bit confusing, it's more like key pre-processing?
There's nothing toeplitz about xoring input fields. Works as well
for CRC32.. or XOR.

We can use one of the reserved fields of struct ethtool_rxfh to carry
this extension. I think I asked for this at some point, but there's
only so much repeated feedback one can send in a day :(
