These paragraphs sound a bit awkward. It kind of buries the lede, the
"these functions are not guaranteed to be stable" part, to the bottom.
Maybe something like:
"
Building blocks for creating fast inlineable hash functions. The
functions in this file are not guaranteed to be stable between versions,
and may differ by hardware platform. Hence they must not be used in
indexes or other on-disk structures. See hashfn.h if you need stability.

Other than that, LGTM.
