This patch series adds a new optimized implementation for the Toeplitz hash function using Galois Fields New instruction (GFNI). The main use case of this function is to calculate the hash value for a single data, so there is no bulk implementation. For performance reasons, the implementation was placed in a public header. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the platform supports GFNI (by doing runtime checks of rte_thash_gfni_supported variable) before calling these functions.
