Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is really worth it, but it looked so
extremely inefficient that I couldn't resist - so let's hope providers
will keep PPPoE around for a while, at least until terabit dsl ;-)

The new code produces the same results as the old version and is
~ 3 to 6 times faster for 4-bit hashes on the CPUs I tested.
