Thanks for doing that quickly.
FWIW, the format you're using makes applying the patch including the
commit message relatively hard. Consider using git format-patch.

This doesn't look correct. A cmp routine needs to return -1, 0, 1 when a
< b, a = b, a > b respectively. You'll only return 0 and 1 here.

That can't be right either. There's at least two things wrong here:
a) hashint8 takes PG_FUNCTION_ARGS, not a Datum
b) you're not including the necessary header defining hashint8.
I've used
SELECT DISTINCT (g.i||'/0')::pg_lsn f FROM generate_series(1, 100) g(i), generate_series(1, 5);
SELECT (g.i||'/0')::pg_lsn f FROM generate_series(1, 100) g(i) ORDER BY f;
SELECT (g.i||'/0')::pg_lsn, count(*) FROM generate_series(1, 100) g(i), generate_series(1, 5) GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1;
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT (g.i||'/0')::pg_lsn lsn FROM generate_series(1, 10) g(i) ORDER BY g.i) a
JOIN (SELECT (g.i||'/0')::pg_lsn lsn FROM generate_series(1, 10) g(i) ORDER BY g.i DESC) b
ON (a.lsn = b.lsn );
To check that a) hashing works, b) sorting works, c) mergesorts works
after fixing the above issues. New version of the patch attached
I completely agree with Heikki's point that this kind of oversight is
the actual reason for a beta period.
