Linux since 2.6.8 supports O_NOATIME in open(2). This does not update the file last access time (st_atime in the inode) when the file is read(2). Cherokee <http://www.0x50.org/> does similar things

This might help in static file serving so I cooked up this patch. I did a grep -r RDONLY in the nginx src and didn't think there were issues if atime updates were disabled for various cases or should I create a patch specific to ngx_http_static_module.c

I think it's better to #define NGX_NOATIME and to set it explicitly. Thank you.
