  It was broken to multiple lines because it looks nicer that way (IMO).

  If we wrap it with () it's going to go over 80, so it's going to stay
  broken down either way :)

I would prefer the body be all on one line too. But shouldn't this be a
static inline function?
We want sizeof(val), which wouldn't work in a static inline. We can
either wrap a static inline __hash_min() with a macro and pass that
size to it, but that's quite an overkill here, or we can add a size
parameter to hash_min(), but it would look awkward considering how
hash_32()/hash_64()/hash_long() look like.


Thanks,
Sasha
