Similar to previous upstream release 2.6.0 this point release breaks

The missing functions have been converted to be static inlines, thus breaking the library ABI.

Looking at the code changes, there is a lot of code refactor.
Is there a minimal patch of actual performance improvements?

I see a lot of variables moving about and getting assigned at
declaration, and things simply renamed
(s/LENGTH_FOO_HASH/FOO_HASH_LENGTH/). 16.04 is way past feature freeze
to land code refactors which break library ABI.
