If you mount with noatime, .... .... well, then there's no way to do this.

Though atime is considered a performance breaker (updates on each access 
- potentially causing writes to the disk for every read from the disk 
cache), I believe the recommendation is to use relatime - which only 
updates the atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or 
ctime. This sort of provides a compromise between the *stupid* default 
unix atime and noatime.
