[Andy Whitcroft]

This was released in 2.6.32-12.16 for Lucid but unfortuanatly the commit
was marked to be ignored so this bug didn't get closed by the janitor:

  commit 1182c7174e2844583451fac2fd9013543b095adf

    UBUNTU: [Config] ext3 defaults to ordered mode

    Ignore: yes
    
    To prevent a security threat of older data being inadvertently exposed, the
    default mount option of ext3 should be ordered instead of writeback. This
    patch enables the compile time option CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED to
    ensure that an ext3 fs mounts with the data=ordered mode.
