It would be great if someone finally fixed this old bug then: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61601 Until then, it seems practically impossible to use both noatime (this can't be added as rootflag in the command line and won't apply if the kernel already mounted the root as RW) and space-cache-v2 (has to be added as a rootflag along with RW to take effect) for the root filesystem (at least without an init*fs, which I never use, so can't tell).
