Correct :)

The outputs seem to match if `buff` is aligned to 64-bit. Still see
difference with `csum_fold(csum_partial())` if `buff` is not 64-bit aligned.

The comment at the top says it's "best" to have `buff` 64-bit aligned but
the code logic seems meant to support the misaligned case so not
sure if it's an issue.

Example:

csum_fold(csum_partial) new : 0x3764
csum_fold(csum_partial) HEAD: 0x3a61

buff : [ 11, ea, 75, 76, e9, ab, 86, 48 ]
buff addr : ffff88eaf5fb0001
len : 8
sum_in : 25

Where in the kernel would that belong?
