George Spelvin 773e1c5fa4 parisc: Add <asm/hash.h>
PA-RISC is interesting; integer multiplies are implemented in the
FPU, so are painful in the kernel.  But it tries to be friendly to
shift-and-add sequences for constant multiplies.

__hash_32 is implemented using the same shift-and-add sequence as
Microblaze, just scheduled for the PA7100.  (It's 2-way superscalar
but in-order, like the Pentium.)

hash_64 was tricky, but a suggestion from Jason Thong allowed a
good solution by breaking up the multiplier.  After a lot of manual
optimization, I found a 19-instruction sequence for the multiply that
can be executed in 10 cycles using only 4 temporaries.

(The PA8xxx can issue 4 instructions per cycle, but 2 must be ALU ops
and 2 must be loads/stores.  And the final add can't be paired.)

An alternative considered, but ultimately not used, was Thomas Wang's
64-to-32-bit integer hash.  At 12 instructions, it's smaller, but they're
all sequentially dependent, so it has longer latency.
