Why key is a long, casted later to "unsigned long" ?

hash_long() is expensive on 64bit arches, and not really needed
if key is an u32 from the beginning ( I am referring to your patches 6 &
7 using jhash()  )

Maybe you could use a macro, so that we can automatically select
hash_32() if key is an u32, and hash_long() for other types.
