This patch is based on the code sent out by Peter Zijstra as part of his queue spinlock patch to provide a hashing function with open addressing. The lfsr() function can be used to return a sequence of numbers that cycle through all the bit patterns (2^n -1) of a given bit width n except the value 0 in a somewhat random fashion depending on the LFSR taps that is being used. Callers can provide their own taps value or use the default.
