There is a much less complex solution that I've just recently gotten working
in the SUSE kernel.  If reiser3/ext3 don't log the inode during atime
updates, the problem goes away.

You can solve this now by mounting with -o noatime (although that might not play well with cyrus, not sure). My current patch works around this in ugly
ways, what I plan on doing during OLS is finding out why ext3 is still
logging the inode all the time.

Well we have always mounted our cyrus filesystems with:

noatime,nodiratime,notail

And the problem was occuring all the time with these mount options. We've since also added on your suggestion nolargeio=1 and used the patch Vladimir created. I'm not sure which of those fixed the problem, but it definitely has not occured since we did those last 2 things.

Are you saying that if you mount with noatime *and* use your new patch it will fix the problem?

What about the 2 threads linked to. Did those end up getting anywhere?
