bound appears not to exist, from my quick grovel through the kernel
source (at least, the string "bound" does not exist anywhere therein).

What you may want, if reliability is not a concern or your disk is
battery-backed (or a laptop), is 'nobarrier'. Telling mysql not to sync
may be worthwhile too.
