Subject: [PATCH 04/15] libihash: use fast binary scaling to determine the load

Expressing the maximum load in binary percent (where 128b% corresponds
to 100%) allows us to use fast binary scaling to determine if the
maximum load has been reached.

* libihash/ihash.c (hurd_ihash_set_max_load): Update the comment.
(hurd_ihash_add): Use fast binary scaling to determine the current
load.
* libihash/ihash.h (hurd_ihash_set_max_load): Update the comment.
