nit: I don't know why the first-person singular language caused
me to stumble during this message. Perhaps the following rewrite
would convey the same information:
Later patches will use container_of() to remove the limitation
of "hashmap_entry" being location-dependent. This will complete
the transition to compile-time type checking for the hashmap API.

If it is the same code, then I would prefer you do this conversion
now so we can see that equivalence in the patch AND we know that
existing code will test it.
