 Ah, finally a justification for the R2 ISA!

 Seriously though, I smell a caller somewhere fails to call csum_fold() on
the result obtained from csum_partial() where it should, so it would be
good to fix the bug rather than trying to cover it.  Bryan, would you be
able to track down the caller?

 I can see you have done the microoptimisation I had in mind meanwhile --
thanks for saving me the effort. ;)  There is a delay slot to fill left
though -- will you take care of it too?
