erk, I'm not an i_version person. It seems that it's only used on directories (to patch up readdir coherency problems) so I guess I misled you there.
There's file_struct.f_version, which is no good.
i_generation is no good either.
We've documented these things so wonderfully!
i_writecount looks good?
