Is it safe to assume that a pointer will always be equal to or smaller
than an unsigned long for all architectures? Casting a pointer to an
unsigned long, in general, makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Dave Chinner told me that XFS uses 32-bit inode numbers on 32-bit
machines, so I imagine that this patch really is only helpful for NFS.

How does this look?

Modify inode number generation to account for differences in the inode
number data type sizes in lower filesystems.
