Matthew Wilcox 4e701482d1 hash: add explicit u32 and u64 versions of hash
The 32-bit version is more efficient (and apparently gives better hash
results than the 64-bit version), so users who are only hashing a 32-bit
quantity can now opt to use the 32-bit version explicitly, rather than
promoting to a long.

* Knuth recommends primes in approximately golden ratio to the maximum
* integer representable by a machine word for multiplicative hashing.
* Chuck Lever verified the effectiveness of this technique:
* http://www.citi.umich.edu/techreports/reports/citi-tr-00-1.pdf
*
* These primes are chosen to be bit-sparse, that is operations on
* them can use shifts and additions instead of multiplications for
* machines where multiplications are slow.
