Currently the only way to have non static Toeplitz hash key is to
generate it randomly. Such a key may not guarantee good packets
distribution, especially if there are small number of flows.
This patch adds stub implementation of the Toeplitz hash key generation
function, which may improve Toeplitz hash key with respect to hash values
distribution.
