This is another place where (shoot me if I'm wrong), stacking layers would be handy. One could make a stacking layer to provide inode remapping. Or, if this is the wrong approach, one could add code to FFS to allow inode remapping metadata. This way, one could rename the physical inode and update the mapping. Or am I way off mark here?
