I am not sure I understand everything you say, but there is
System.identityHashCode(Object o), which return the hashcode that would
be returned if Object.hashCode() is not overridden.

In Kaffe, it returns the address of the object --- which opens a whole
new can of worms once we'll use moving collectors.
