Jacob what do you think, is there a hash algorithm out there that works on
say 9 or even 16 bits, reducing them down to say 4 or 5?

And did you see that Mitch confirms that the AGEN detection needs to be on
the PHYS addr as well ad the Virt one?

So it is no longer 64 bits to hash it is well over 100.
