Umm, no f**king way.  atime selection is 100% policy and belongs into

atimes because of the way the vfs-level mount flags API is designed.
Instead of doing such a fugly kernel patch just talk to the handfull
of distributions that matter to update their defaults.


Indeed.  Just change /bin/mount so it defaults to "noatime"
unless there is an explicit "atime". Similiar for diratime.
Problem solved.
