If all AFS cache files are in one directory, and files don't get moved into
that directory from elsewhere in the FS (ie mv /tmp/foo /afs_cache_dir),
than 
the extra 32 bits of info reiserfs needs will always be the same as the
inode number of the cache directory, and we can whip up something using
iget4 to pass the extra info to reiserfs.

Otherwise, we'll have to do something else (more details in another email).
