This reverts commite5a2c89995. Commite5a2c899introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2, that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2. Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled properly for the called functions. The __jhash2 function in particular clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2. It is possible that __intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer registers. This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>.

/* General purpose hashing library

|
* That's a start of a kernel hashing library, which can be extended

* with further algorithms in future. arch_fast_hash{2,}() will

|
