Hmm, I miss an explanation why this change is correct and safe.
You explain why the OOB area can't be used, okay. But you need to
add more details on why you change is safe in terms of filesystem
consistency.

Beside of that, I don't think this should be kernel config option.
Why not a mount option?

Thanks,
