[ixp1200] HashSv functions? (accessing the hash units from the SA)

[Abhijeet Joglekar]

Cyrus,

Are you using MicroAce framework? If yes, you can use the functions
provided by ASL on the StrongArm to produce the hash values.

Check out

	* Shared Memory Access API in SDK Reference document
	* Shared Memory Table example in SDK Guide
	* How L2bridge manages its forwarding table.
