exposing i_version to userspace?

AFAICS there's no way to get `i_version` from userspace?  

I'd swear this was one of the original goals of statx() and the notes in https://lwn.net/Articles/707602/ say "including generation and version numbers" but that apparently never happened?  Is there a reason why not?

I tried to search in the archives for this but the keywords I could think of around "stat" and "version" had too many other hits.

(Motivated by hitting some timestamp granularity issues in a synthetic test case for file time changes; if we could compare i_version instead that race would go away)
