/* Notice: to minimize the potential for confusion, we use r to
 *         denote the independent variable of the polynomials in the
 *         Galois Field GF(2^8).  We reserve x for polynomials that
 *         that have coefficients in GF(2^8).
 *         
 * The Galois Field in which coefficient arithmetic is performed are
 * the polynomials over Z_2 (i.e., 0 and 1) modulo the irreducible
 * polynomial f(r), where f(r)=r^8 + r^7 + r^2 + r + 1.  A polynomial
 * is represented as a byte with the MSB as the coefficient of r^7 and
 * the LSB as the coefficient of r^0.  For example, the binary
 * representation of f(x) is 0x187 (of course, this doesn't fit into 8
 * bits).  In this field, the polynomial r is a primitive element.
 * That is, r^i with i in 0,...,255 enumerates all elements in the
 * field.
 *
 * The generator polynomial for the QIC-80 ECC is
 *
 *      g(x) = x^3 + r^105*x^2 + r^105*x + 1
 *
 * which can be factored into:
 *
 *      g(x) = (x-r^-1)(x-r^0)(x-r^1)
 *
 * the byte representation of the coefficients are:
 *
 *      r^105 = 0xc0
 *      r^-1  = 0xc3
 *      r^0   = 0x01
 *      r^1   = 0x02
 *
 * Notice that r^-1 = r^254 as exponent arithmetic is performed
 * modulo 2^8-1 = 255.
 *
 * For more information on Galois Fields and Reed-Solomon codes, refer
 * to any good book.  I found _An Introduction to Error Correcting
 * Codes with Applications_ by S. A. Vanstone and P. C. van Oorschot
 * to be a good introduction into the former.  _CODING THEORY: The
 * Essentials_ I found very useful for its concise description of
 * Reed-Solomon encoding/decoding.

 * of the column for which the syndromes are desired.  The syndromes

 * be placed in S[0], S[1], and S[2].
 *
 * S[i] is the value of the "message" polynomial m(x) evaluated at the
 * i-th root of the generator polynomial g(x).
 *
 * As g(x)=(x-r^-1)(x-1)(x-r^1) we evaluate the message polynomial at
 * x=r^-1 to get S[0], at x=r^0=1 to get S[1], and at x=r to get S[2].
 * This could be done directly and efficiently via the Horner scheme.
 * However, it would require multiplication tables for the factors
 * r^-1 (0xc3) and r (0x02).  The following scheme does not require
 * any multiplication tables beyond what's needed for set_parity()
 * anyway and is slightly faster if there are no errors and slightly
 * slower if there are errors.  The latter is hopefully the infrequent
 * case.
 *
 * To understand the alternative algorithm, notice that set_parity(m,
 * k, p) computes parity bytes such that:
 *
 *      x^k * p(x) = m(x) (modulo g(x)).
 *
 * That is, to evaluate m(r^m), where r^m is a root of g(x), we can
 * simply evaluate (r^m)^k*p(r^m).  Also, notice that p is 0 if and
 * only if s is zero.  That is, if all parity bytes are 0, we know
 * there is no error in the data and consequently there is no need to
 * compute s(x) at all!  In all other cases, we compute s(x) from p(x)
 * by evaluating (r^m)^k*p(r^m) for m=-1, m=0, and m=1.  The p(x)
 * polynomial is evaluated via the Horner scheme.
