A good start.  You didn't convert any callers yet, so I did a quick
poll.  Turned out that out of 76 callers 37 explicitly set i_ino, 1
(fat) calls iunique itself and 38 look at first glance as if they
didn't set i_ino.  xfs and jfs were in the latter category, which just
proved I didn't look too closely.

Anyway, the distribution is fairly even, so I agree with your choice
of default behaviour.
