I look at this patch, and part of me goes "I think we should make it a
mount option", but at the same time I'm not sure it's worth the extra
complexity, since this is such a special case.
So Ack. While I'm not convinced a sysctl is the way to go, I also
don't think it's worth bikeshedding any further, at least until we
have other cases that care.
Christian, I assume this will come through you? Or should I just pick
it up directly?
