I guess it comes down to what makes a better hashval for the inode table
on arches with a 32-bit long? Should we just use the lowest bits of the
inode number or do a ceph_ino_to_ino32 conversion first?

My rationale was that we're going to end up hashing this value through
hash() in fs/inode.c anyway, so why bother hashing it down into 32 bits
first? Most inodes (at least for a single MDS) end up clustered together
so that the upper 32 bits are not generally significant.

We might end up with collisions when 2 MDS's generate 2 inode numbers
with the lower 32 bits all the same, but that's not a huge problem. The
hash chain just ends up being a little longer than is optimal.
