I have already send a second mail to the topic but my mails arive with hours...days delay.

I've seen that the kernel seems to handle the option.

What I have tested is

# mount -o noatime /dev/sd0e /mnt

Which gives the error for an unsupported option.

Indeed it looks like just a change to mount_ext2fs(8) should fix it.
