I don't think that is the case. The reason that the address space is a
separate structure in the first place is to allow them to exist without
an inode. Maybe that has changed, but we should see why that is, in
that case rather than just making this change immediately.

I can't see any reason why if we have to have an inode here that it
needs to be hashed... what would need to look it up via the hashes?
