Two comments:
1. The inode-cache has the exact same problem, but it'll require a lot
of RAM to run into it. The buffer and page caches don't have the
same problem.
2. Given that D_HASHBITS is not a constant I wonder if there isn't
a more efficient hash to be found. But I guess I'll leave that
to the hashing experts.
