Agreed, if that's the whole hash function I think small code size is a selling point of this hash compared with other modern fast hashes. This hash function looks like it will do unaligned reads if you're hashing an unaligned string. This doesn't matter on x86, but portable code should avoid this. It would be helpful to have a wrapper function that could handle unaligned strings by special-casing the begin and end of buffer.
