Umm, no f**king way. atime selection is 100% policy and belongs into userspace. Add to that the problem that we can't actually re-enable 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.
