Well, it boots. And I clearly have networking. But who knows how much
that is actually using the csum_partial() function? Not me. I'm just
along for the ride.

Anyway, that last version handles the 40-byte special case
differently, in that it might have done some arbitrary number of
80-byte chunks first. But it shouldn't really make a difference - it
does check for >= 80- bytes first, but we're talking two extra
instructions.

And that way the end case is always less than 64 bytes, and so the
tests for 32/16/8 work fine.

And now it's committed to my test tree, so I'm not throwing it away,
but I also won't be working on it any more. If somebody wants to time
it using Arjan's little thing, more power to them.
