The administration would kill me.  I would prefer to avoid that.

(note that the check isn't completely removed, it's "only" nullified
for NFS-mounted files.  We use AFS for most things here, so the vast
majority of the machines that I have to care about do not have any
NFS files.  The few that do are also limited-access machines.  Still,
I'd prefer a better check than nothing for those NFS files)

Any advice on how to kick AIX so the st_dev+st_ino check will work
right is also welcome.  It baffles me why AIX does things the way it
does.  It kinda looks like the values it uses are pointers to some
other info, and maybe *that* info is constant for a given file, but
I haven't had the time to pursue that yet.
