I think the problem case to worry about would have been on a 32-bit
NFS server (think embedded/bookshelf NAS servers) and NFSv3, since
that's where the inconsistency would have meant that hash2pos would
use the 32-bit codepath, but pos2maj_hash would use the 64-bit
codepath, and so then...  kablooey.

If it's just those changes, no worries, as I've already fixed up the
f_flags vs. f_mode issue in my copy of the patches.

Let me know if there are any other changes that you'd like to make or
issues that you've spotted.
