    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.
