Mja, actually I first omitted your suggestion consciously, because I first 
thought it was an overkill pure visibility issue lmited to the default case 
remap_inodes==false, but now that I look at it again, it is actually an issue 
even when remap_inodes==true since dirent would expose wrong inode numbers on 
guest as well.

I will see what to do about it. However about your other concern here, quote:

        "Also, if we hit a collision while reading the directory, I'm
         afraid the remaining entries won't be read at all. I'm not
         sure this is really what we want."

That's however still a concern here that I would consider overkill to address. 
I mean if a user gets into that situation then because of a configuration error 
that must be corrected by user; the point of this patch set is to prevent 
undefined behaviour and to make the user aware about the root cause of the 
overall issue; the purpose is not to address all possible issues while there 
is still a configuration error.

Yeah, I thought about that as well. Will do.

Ok.

Correct, will fix it.

Yeah, I was not sure about these, because I did not even know what these two 
were for exactly. :)  [ lazyness disclaimer end]

Will do for the other manual locations you mentioned as well.
