This solution may be a bit hokey. I tried other approaches but this one seemed to be the simplest with the least complications. Maybe someone else can come up with a better solution?
How about a 64-bit field in struct inode that's used as a bitmask if there are no more than 64 nodes, and a pointer to a bitmask if there are more than 64 nodes. The filesystems wouldn't need to be involved then, as the bitmap allocation could be done in the generic code.
