Re: ipv4: Simplify ARP hash function.

Maybe * of hash key with a random odd value is good enough?

Yes, from what I've read over the past few days it should
be.  More precisely:

	(key * hash_rnd) >> (32 - hash_table_size_log2)

where "hash_rnd" is odd.

The reason we want the top bits is because multiplies intrinsically
work such that bits in the inputs can only effect the same or higher
bits in the result.
