Two minor thoughts:

At some point it might be nice to switch from using sid[3] as the
temporary variable to contain the csum since it is no longer the 3rd
element of the sid in any meaningful way. If you decide to do so for a
v4, then please do keep my ack from above.

Likewise if you decide to express the big chain of ifndef's via Kconfig
instead, you can keep the ack.

Ian.
