   * Simplified re-implementation of Fec-Bourbon
   *
   * Following changes have been made:
   *  1. Avoid unnecessary copying of block data.
   *  2. Avoid expliciting matrixes, if we are only going to use one row
   *     anyways
   *  3. Pick coefficients of Vandermonde matrix in such a way as to get
   *     a "nicer" systematic matrix, such as for instance the following:
   *           1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
   *           0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
   *           0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
   *           0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
   *           0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
   *           0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
   *           0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
   *           0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
   *           a b c d e f g h
   *           b a d c f e h g
   *           c d a b g h e f
   *           d c b a h g f e
   *
   *     This makes it easyer on processor cache, because we keep on reusing the
   *     same small part of the multiplication table.
   *     The trick to obtain this is to use k=128 and n=256. Use x=col for
   *     top matrix (rather than exp(col-1) as the original did). This makes
   *     the "inverting" polynom to be the following (coefficients of col
   *     col of inverse of top Vandermonde matrix)
   *
   *                _____
   *                 | | 
   *   P   =  K      | |    (x - i)
   *    col    col   | |
   *             0 < i < 128 &&
   *               i != col
   *
   *   K_col must be chosen such that P_col(col) = 1, thus
   *
   *                  1
   *           ---------------
   *   K    =       _____
   *    col          | | 
   *                 | |    (col - i)
   *                 | |
   *             0 < i < 128 &&
   *               i != col
   *
   *     For obvious reasons, all (col-i)'s are different foreach i (because
   *     col constant). Moreoveover, none has the high bit set (because both
   *     col and i have high bit unset and +/- is really a xor). Moreover
   *     0 is not among them (because i != col). This means that we calculate
   *     the product of all values for 1 to 0x7f, and we have eliminated
   *     dependancy on col. K_col can be written just k.
   *
   *     Which make P_col resolves to:
   *               _____
   *                | |    
   *     P   =  K   | |    (x - i)
   *      col       | |
   *             0 < i < 128
   *           -------------------
   *              (x-col)
   * 
   *     When evaluating this for any x > 0x80, the following thing happens
   *     to the numerator: all (x-i) are different for i, and have high bit
   *     set. Thus, the set of top factors are all values from 0x80 to 0xff,
   *     and the numerator becomes independant from x (as long as x & 0x80 = 0)
   *     Thus, P_col(x) = L / (x-col)
   *     In the systematic matrix value on [row,col] is P_col(row) = L/(row-col)
   *     To simplify we multiply each bottom row by 1/L (which is a simple
   *     scaling operation, and should not affect invertibility of any partial
   *     matrix contained therein), and we get S[row,col] = 1/(row-col)
   *     Benefits of all this:
   *       - no complicated encoding matrix to compute (it's just the inverse
   *       table!)
   *       - cache efficiency when multiplying blocks, because we get to
   *       reuse the same coefficients. Probability of mult table already in
   *       cache increases.
   *     Downside:
   *       - less flexibility: we can for instance not do 240/200, because
   *       200 is more than 128, and using this technique we unfortunately
   *       limited number of data blocks to 128 instead of 256 as would be
   *       possible otherwise
   */

   * to worry about evicting FEC blocks from the cache: those are so
