Doh! Can you tell I cut and pasted this email from earlier ones? :-)

Actually, we probably don't need to do that now. My thought here was to add
a low range of i_ino numbers that could be used by the filesystem code without
needing to call iunique (in particular for things like the root inode in the
filesystem). It's probably best to not do this though and let the filesystem
handle it on its own.

Here's an updated (but untested) patch based on your suggestions. I also went
ahead and made the exported symbols GPL-only since that seems like it would be
appropriate here. Any further thoughts on it?
