Hi Felix!

Tested here on 2.6.30 & works perfectly. I noticed that "strictatime" and "relatime" mounts options can't be used with XFS - had to change the default directly in fs/namespace.c.

I did some benchmarks here and wasn't able to see any significant differences, even when atime is fully enabled. The tests were done with kernel 2.6.30 on a VMWare ESXi Server 3.5.0. Real Hardware is a dual Quad Xeon 2.66GHz, 6-disk 146GB 15k RAID5 on PERC6 with 128MB BBU cache.
