Don't use filesystems that require 64 bit inode numbers until all
applications are using LFS. Personally I'd rather LFS not be an option
anymore for applicaitons programs because of this compatibility
issue. We've always known when starting down the LFS path that this day
would come, and any filesystem that makes use of the upper 32 bits of
ino_t had better issue a warning (none in the kernel proper *currently*
do).
