IIRC, Hans wants that, in case you have a cluster composed of system
with different endianess, the hash mark calculated will be the same

independency of the endianess.

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

Have done that, and made tests on a mips 32 running debian
It was as expected jhash3_words is endian safe, while jhash() is not
