This looks like a mount option is needed. Actually, FAT already has an
option "check={relaxed,normal,strict}".
For example, creation of these files could be enabled in case of
"check=relaxed" (the following is untested):

while (walk - res < MSDOS_NAME)
*walk++ = ' ';
- if (!opts->atari)
+ if (!opts->atari && opts->name_check != 'r')
/* GEMDOS is less stupid and has no reserved names */
for (reserved = reserved_names; *reserved; reserved++)
if (!strncmp(res, *reserved, 8))
Cheers
