How much have you looked at the VFS?  There's nothing journalling-related
in the VFS right now.  ext3 and XFS share no common journalling code,
nor do I think that would be possible, due to the very different concepts
they have of journalling.

Here's a good hint:

$ find fs -type f |xargs grep -l journal_start
fs/ext3/acl.c
fs/ext3/inode.c
fs/ext3/ioctl.c
fs/ext3/namei.c
fs/ext3/resize.c
fs/ext3/super.c
fs/ext3/xattr.c
fs/ext4/acl.c
fs/ext4/extents.c
fs/ext4/inode.c
fs/ext4/ioctl.c
fs/ext4/namei.c
fs/ext4/resize.c
fs/ext4/super.c
fs/ext4/xattr.c
fs/jbd/journal.c
fs/jbd/transaction.c
fs/jbd2/journal.c
fs/jbd2/transaction.c
fs/ocfs2/journal.c
fs/ocfs2/super.c

JBD and JBD2 provide a journalling implementation that ext3, ext4 and
ocfs2 use.  Note that XFS doesn't, it has its own journalling code.

If you want XFS to support data=ordered, talk to the XFS folks.  Or
start picking through XFS yourself, of course -- you do have the source
code.
