Usually it should be one of the first objects created in a new filesystem, so it
should have a small ID (typically 7).

As far as I understand, ZFS actually uses 48 bits for object IDs at the moment.
Since they are generated incrementally they do not overflow 32 bits soon.
But you are right that this is a potential problem as long as ino_t stays 
32-bit.

However, it seems that VFS_VGET is mostly used by filesystem drivers internally.
And ZFS doesn't seem to do that.
The only external user appears to be NFS.
