No problem: looks at some recent linux-2.3.xxx kernel source:

root:/usr/src/linux/fs# less buffer.c 

Look for the macros:

#define _hashfn(dev,block) 
#define hash(dev,block) 

And theyr usage.

Later down they are used with some intermediate value
which get's outpotimized for the macro version, but which
doesn't go away without reordering of the usage code
for the inline versions thereof.
