There was discussion on yesterday's call about whether or not 32-bit
was enough for NFSv4, or whether it also requried 64-bits of change
notification in the RFC's.  So one of the questions is whether this is
something that would justify requiring 64-bits --- and if so, maybe we
need to require that big inodes be used and store the entire 64-bit
value beyond 128 bytes.  This would mean that NFSv4 cache management
couldn't be fully implemented without big inodes, or we'd have to make
do by using the inode ctime as a partial substitute.

What do you think?
