I am writing a file server to be overlayed on a portion
of an existing name space.  It presents the original
name space, plus some new files.

I'm trying to decide how to manage the qids.  The issue
is choosing qids for the new files without colliding
with qids of the old ones.

The best related example I've seen is the qid hash
table in exportfs.  Is there a better one?
