    UBUNTU: [Config] ext3 defaults to ordered mode

    BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510067
    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.
