The workable fixes to relatime (the always update once per 24 hours) you
only just comitted - and did come from a vendor.
It also looks btw that we don't want to have a "relatime" option and a
"strictatime" option and a "relatimebutdoitevery24hrs" option.
All three of these are the same thing so it should (regardless of default
choice) be
relatime=n
n = 0 ('update if its more than 0 seconds out of date') =
strictatime
n = MAXINT (basically equals relatime)
n = 24hrs (the new 'fixed' relatime but not too relative)
n = anything else - user tuned
