I'd rather just eliminate the option, to the extent possible.
It was only ever a mount option since it caused a performance regression
in some filesystems, but I *think* that was addressed by Jeff Layton's
work (f02a9ad1f15d "fs: handle inode->i_version more efficiently").
XFS in particular is just using this flag to tell knfsd that it should
use i_version. I don't think it was really intended for userspace to be
able to turn this off.
