Looks good to me, here's a new version of the patch.

The next part of my cunning plan is to get rid of the object
generation number, and use a cryptographic hash of (offset,
mapping->host->i_ino, mapping->host->i_sb). That way there's
only a small chance of false positives - assuming a perfect
hash, one false positive every 256MB of data, or 2^16 pages.

Unless there are filesystems that immediately reassign the same
inode number when creating a file after one got deleted - not
sure about that...

Anyway, here is the current code:
