Is this union necessary given that it's not an on-disk structure?

Probably should be using cpu_to_be32()

Again here.

It would be useful to have some description of how the two u32s are 
meant to be used now that the u64 is split. Although, I notice that only 
the *gen2 fields are being used now, so perhaps the *gen2 fields could 
be given a more descriptive name and the *gen1 fields could follow the 
__pad convention instead.

I assume there are no endianness problems here as the generation number 
is always big-endian on-disk so it will always be found in *gen2.

I'm not too familiar with how the generation number is used so I hope 
it's also safe to assume that inode->i_generation will never be bumped 
up to 64 bits to avoid some kind of i_generation-Y2K bug :)

Cheers,
Andy
