There is a patch which is slated for inclusion in a near-future official
kernel that adds support for immutable & noatime flags, as well as the
support needed to add other flags in the future. See the patches at

  ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.15-pre7.pending/

The relevant patch is 'N'. The README in that directory has details.
