Good, I have commited that code.

It would still be good to know if we solved the problem, there might
be other programs that do inode caching stuff.

To my understanding, Transarc AFS always use the normal hash algoritm
for fabricating inode numbers, which would mean that once you got two
files that hash to the same inode number the kernel would consider
them the same file.  It would be good to try to fabricate a test case
for this, but I haven't done so yet.
