    No, it's not going to be tunable, which means it needs to be generic
    enough to not have degenerate cases which are worse then a straight
    crc.

    The directory inode has a flags field which stores the directory hash
    algorithm, so when the change is made new directories will use the
    new hash and existing directories will keep using the old hash.
