queue_only mode would be a rather major wrinkle in this.

As for portability and people turning off atime updates (yes, thats me),
at least that would mean that atime was set to an earlier timestamp than
it should be, so you would then fall through into current behaviour -
although it has cost you an extra stat() (unless theres an existing one
that can be used) for no benefit on those systems.
