We do need a standardized way of enabling it (since it does cost you

option is the right way to do it, maybe not.
We may want to take this to the linux-fs list and try to get
agreements on these points; the main reason why it's not enabled by
default in ext4 is because the NFSv4 advanced caching code is in
common use (is it even in mainline)?
