The patch ordering is a little annoying as I'd like to be able to be
able to verify the implementation at the same time these new interfaces
are added, but, I don't know, I don't have a better idea.
Anyway, various nits:

I'm not sure why that comment's there. Filesystems can choose to
increment i_version without requiring the mount option if they want,
can't they?

Document what the return value means?

I'm not sure what "for later comparison" means. This is the "read"
operation that actually flags the i_version as read, which you'd use
(for example) to implement NFS getattr? I wonder if there's a better
way to say that.

Does this flag the i_version as read? What's it for? (OK, I guess I'll
find out after a few more patches...).
