The bug has been there for ever (well, as far back as git goes without digging the old monster repo) so may as well date from my original port of the C hashing code to asm. However it wasn't per-se a bug until Aneesh 64T support was added in 3.7 since we didn't use the top vsid bits that are masked. I've merged the patch. My only worry is whether there might have been a reason for the masking in the first place, ie, do we ever carry VSIDs with bad bits at the top... though the hash mask should take care of that in any case (well I hope...)
