You always get power-of-two buckets, unless the implementation has changed
since I last looked at the guts.  You just typically don't _use_ them all,
e.g. by using %prime instead of &mask as your hash function; &mask is a
pretty crappy hash function for a lot of purposes anyway.

The ifaddr hash code does this.
