For btrfs, the "location" is root.objectid ++ file.objectid.  I think
the inode should become (file.objectid ^ swab64(root.objectid)).  This
will provide numbers that are unique until you get very large subvols,
and very many subvols.
If you snapshot a filesystem, I'd expect, at least by default, that
inodes in the snapshot to stay the same as in the snapshotted
filesystem.

For copy on right systems like ZFS, how could it be otherwise?
