what about those that encapsulate the encapsulators?
i don't see how this helps much, given that you can't rely
on it. i suppose it reduces the likelyhood that an exportfs-like
service will have to rewrite a file's qid when it's walked to,
and more so if the encapsulating service chooses a random
starting point for those top 16 bits... is that the point?
