Even if not you can hash by page number not low bits so the hash is way smaller. You (in most cases) can also write the entry number in the relevant tables onto the end of the object in spare space (or in front of it)
Something as trivial as
struct usb_thingy { u32 thing_id; u32 flags; struct usb_thingy *next; #ifndef __LP64__ u32 pad #endif struct usb_controller_goo goo; }
