I don't really want __kernel_old_ino_t as it would clutter every arch
just for nfsd, and just for 2.6.

I think I would like

#ifdef __ia64__
 typedef unsigned int __nfsd_ino_t;
#else
 typedef __kernel_ino_t __nfsd_ino_t;
#endif

at the top of syscall.h, and then use __nfsd_ino_t where needed.
This would keep all the 'clutter' inside nfsd, and in one place, and I
can remove it all when I discard that system call in 2.7.

If other arch's want to change their __kernel_ino_t, then we just need
to add a make a change within that #if/#endif
