I think this fails to initialize the whole table. You'd need
HASH_BITS -> HASH_SIZE
Which brings the following question: how did you test this code ? It
would be nice to have a small test module along with this patchset that
stress-tests this simple hash table in various configurations (on stack,
in data, etc).
Also, I don't see how hash_init() can be useful, since DEFINE_HASHTABLE
already initialize the array entries. If it is for dynamically allocated
hash tables, this also won't work, considering the comment "This has to
be a macro since HASH_BITS() will not work on pointers since it
calculates the size during preprocessing."

So I get that hash_empty is only expected to be used for statically
defined hash tables ? Does it support hash tables in dynamically
allocated memory ? On the stack ? If these are never expected to be
supported, this should be documented.
