You then have a scalability issue on the directory inode lock - and there may
also be limits on the capacity of a directory.  The hash function is meant to
work the same, no matter the cpu arch, so you should be able to copy that to
userspace and derive the hash yourself.

Better if you can do that in erofs rather than cachefiles.  Just set your
coherency data to all zeros or something.
