Looks pretty good. I'm not sure about naming.
Besides that, a few minor comments. Some of them boil downto simply
inlining current _salsa20 into salsa20_core, and have salsa20_hash call
salsa20_core rather than _salsa20. Do you see any drawbacks with that?

No need to use _ in the name of a static-declared function.

Any reason not to do the final addition here? Would need separate input
and output arguments, and be organized as
x = input (memcpy)
do the rounds
dst = input + x (loop)
We need a single temporary array somewhere if we want to allow in-place
operation, and this may be that right place. And then we have
implemented all of salsa20_core.

Seems unnecessary to convert (using LE_READ_UINT32) the same data twice.

This should be plain memcpy.
