Why does it keep repeating then? If ->key is NULL, the next lookup index
should be 1UL.
But I think the radix 'scan over entire tree' is a bit fragile. This
patch adds a parallel hlist for ease of properly browsing the members,
does that work for you? It compiles, but I haven't booted it here yet...

It doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm afraid.
