I haven't seen any analysis or comments from filesystem developers
supporting this.

d_ino == 0 traditionally meant the file was removed. Perhaps after the
initial opendir() call.  Before this change can be made you'll have to
get the OK from the filesystem owners in the kernel and then the
change should be conditional for Linux only.  Who knows what other
OSes do.
