I read through the whole thing. I think I got it somewhere near the end, but it was quite difficult. What really confuses me is your use of the "hash" term. I believe the established term for these kind of data operations is "histogram". How about calling it that.
Overall it seems useful, but it's not fully clear to me why it needs to be done in the kernel and not an analysis tool?
