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.
