This is a proposal to add --no-atime option on dwalk to not update the file last access time while doing a walk without stat.
The motivation behind this patch is that at CEA we have tools to administrate our filesystems and we want to use mpifileutils in these tools. We don't want the atime of a folder to be modified when admins walk a filesystem. For us, updating the atime is a user-side action and should therefore not be modified by our tools.
