ext4: enable barriers by default
I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when they are available; I believe this is necessary for filesystem integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage. An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery- backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...) can always turn it back off again. SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now. Also document the mount option while we're at it.
