Does it really make sense to use hash_u64()? It can be quite expensive
(mainly on 32-bit targets), and since the low bits are where all the
information is anyway, I'd suggest using hash_32() here even if the
block number in theory can have a few bits above the 32-bit mark.

Anyway, pulled, but I just reacted to that small detail.
