	- Inode: Allow external initialisers
	  To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single
	  structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache,
	  not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a
	  struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer
	  used by XFS.
	  Factor and export the struct inode initialisation code from
	  alloc_inode() to inode_init_always() as a counterpart to
	  inode_init_once().  i.e. we have to call this init function for each
	  inode instantiation (always), as opposed inode_init_once() which is
	  only called on slab object instantiation (once).
