[PATCH] relative atime
Add "relatime" (relative atime) support. Relative atime only updates the
atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime. Like
noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know when a
file has been read since it was last modified.
A corresponding patch against mount(8) is available at
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mount-relative-atime.txt
