Why is this required at all?  It just changes a default option, you can
set the "faster" option yourself if you really feel it is a good idea
for older kernels, why can't you do that for containers you want it
enabled on for these older kernels?

And what exact kernel versions did you test this on?

And how is this not a new feature?
