And for the majority of SD/MMC card users, the choice is:

off: everything works fine
on: filesystem corruption after card change while system is off

I don't think we should change the default to suit the minority of users
with hardware that abuses SD/MMC for fixed storage devices.  However this
probably should be a module option rather than a compile-time option.
