A lot of places use !inode_eq_iversion(). I think we should have both
inode_eq_iversion() and inode_ne_iversion().

Also, we have 'inode' in the name, why keep the 'i'? inode_eq_version()
and inode_ne_version() are shorter. We could even go so far as
iversion_eq() and iversion_ne() if keeping 'iversion' in the string
is important.
