We also called the filesystem part of the NFS filehandle in a few
places, and for those it's correct that it should be stable.  Currently
the fsid is either created from the dev_t in kernelspace or from
uuids extracted through libuuid in userspace.

Or from the f_fsid returned in statfs(), as of a week or so ago.

I think that's a rather bad idea.  As mentioned before f_fsid is
basically random.
