Fair enough, perhaps we should just not worry about it, and assume that there 
might be collisions.

If so, I should probably just have Andrew withdraw the patch I submitted earlier 
to hash the inodes for pipefs. I'll look at other callers of new_inode and fix 
up any of the ones that need fixing.

Does that seem like the most reasonable approach?
