I'e applied this patch independently of all your other hash rework to my tree.

I verified that the code generation for the inner loop is still fine,
and it does look like a much better mixing function, as well as just
clean up the code.

I hope to get new versions of the actual <linux/hash.h> fixes during
this merge window from you.

Thanks,
