[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] hash: fix breaking strict-aliasing rules

[Yerden Zhumabekov <e_zhumabekov@sts.kz>]

Fix rte_hash_crc() function. Casting uint64_t pointer to uin32_t
may trigger a compiler warning about breaking strict-aliasing rules.
To avoid that, introduce a lookup table which is used to mask out
a remainder of data.

See issue #1, http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-March/015174.html
