/**
 *  Computes a 32bit checksum from a blob of 32bit aligned data. This is meant
 *  to be very very fast, as it is used internally by the font cache, in
 *  conjuction with the entire raw key. This algorithm does not generate
 *  unique values as well as others (e.g. MD5) but it performs much faster.
 *  Skia's use cases can survive non-unique values (since the entire key is
 *  always available). Clients should only be used in circumstances where speed
 *  over uniqueness is at a premium.
