IIRC, Hans wants that, in case you have a cluster composed of system
with different endianess, the hash mark calculated will be the same
in both systems. To ensure that the distribution is consistent with
independency of the endianess.

Then jhash() must be audited to make sure its output is OK with this
requirement.

I'm preparing test on mips & ppc right now to verify that as a first step.
