To provide fsnotify object inodes being watched without
binding to alphabetical path we need to encode them with
exportfs help. This patch adds a helper which operates
with plain inodes directly.

doesn't name_to_handle_at()  work for you ? It also allows to get a file
handle using file descriptor.

Hi, sorry for dealy. Well, the last idea is to get rid of this helper,
I've sent out an updated version where ino+dev is only printed.

I don't understand how ino and dev are useful to you, though, if you're
still hoping to be able to look up inodes using this information later
on.
