Ah, thanks; I don't know why I didn't see that.

So the only real question is whether we fix it in the call to rol32,
or in the rol32 function itself (i.e):

static inline __u32 rol32(__u32 word, unsigned int shift)
{
return shift ? ((word << shift) | (word >> (32 - shift))) : word;
}

Dos that make sense to everyone?
