Oh good somebody uses this?  We actually have a ->sequence thing we use for
this, the grand idea was to make it smarter about telling nfs when something
changed, but if you guys use i_version we could probably get rid of our in-core
sequence and use the normal inodes i_version and then just store it in our
sequence field on disk.  I'll do it without a mount option tho so it just works,
does that sound good to you?  Thanks,

Josef
