Yes, this creates the interesting situation of two responses (one from
the local client code, and one from the server) potentially coming as a
client changes a file which he has a watch on.
If you have a user-space, user-space could just add an inotify watch.
But I guess you live entirely in kernel-space? Couldn't we just export
our "add watch" interface to you?

Yes - add watch could be exported, I don't see a way around this since a
filesystem has to be able to tell the server what to watch. It does not
really matter if that were done in kernel or not, but I would prefer it
to be done in kernel since that would avoid having to ioctl down to the
kernel
