Subject: [PATCH] Allow 32-bit and 64-bit hashes

The sym2 driver would like to hash a u32 value, and it could just
call hash_long() and rely on integer promotion on 64-bit machines, but
that seems a little wasteful.
    
Following Arjan's suggestion, I split the existing hash_long into
hash_u32 and hash_u64, and made hash_long an alias to the appropriate
function.
