SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 1/3] siphash: add cryptographically secure hashtable function
Hey Tom,

Yes. Here's an example:

static inline u64 siphash24_2dwords(const u32 a, const u32 b, const u8
key[SIPHASH24_KEY_LEN])
{
return siphash24_1qword(((u64)b << 32) | a, key);
}

This winds up being extremely useful and syntactically convenient in a
few places. Check out my git branch in about 10 minutes or wait for v4
to be posted tomorrow; these are nice helpers.

Okay. I don't have a problem with this, unless anybody has some reason
to the contrary.
