Only because it requires all filesystems to implement ->page_mkwrite to maintain existing functionality. . The alternative is to say that if the filesystem implements the page-mkwrite method it must update the file times in that call, and then change the generic fault code to only update the file times if the filesystem doesn't implement page_mkwrite...
