Corey Hickey changed his esfq to use jhash for dst/src/fw - copy of his

Using jhash is a probably a good idea, the "improved" hash is broken
and will cause reordering in some circumstances:

return (h - q->dyn_min) * (q->hash_divisor - 1) / q->dyn_range;

dyn_min, dyn_max and dyn_range, as their name suggests, are adjusted
dynamically, so the hash function changes whenever one of these values
changes, resulting in reordering of packets belonging to a single flow.


Oops I thought he did use jhash don't know where I got that from.
