Hmm... In fact i've considered this option. For example:
In case of containers(trees), each container administrator want
user/group quota to work inside it's container. I've considered
following approach:
1) enlarge qid_t to u64
2) encode quota_uid and group_uid like follows: 
   quid = treeid << 32 + uid
   qgid = treeid << 32 + gid
3) Introduce new 64-bit quota format file to support wide qid_t.

Currently i dont know better way to support user/group quota
inside tree. It does not affect old fs-internal code, just replace
all hard-coded (int => u64) in fs/quota-XXX. Old 32-bit quota users
not affected because qid_t will be shrink ed on quota-save for
old(most of) users.
