Actually I did the patch, not Bill Hawes (so blame me).

I'm a bit surprised that it does not work. From my calculations it should
have fit.

Ok, I see the problem now. sparc64 uses a 64bit ino_t.

Possible solutions:
- Add a ino32_t (I see sparc64 already has something like this for sparcv8
compatibility) and add conversion macros, and use these in knfsd.

- Or switch sparc64 to a 32bit ino_t. Is a 64bit ino_t really needed?
