I am not remounting the partition with a different journal type.
It is already ext3.

There are 3 journal types/modes ordered (the default), writeback (fastest), and journal (don't use).

I need only to be able to add the data=writeback option to the fstab.
Alternatively, I would even remount the partition in rc.local if need be
(if module load order is a problem), if only it would accept it.

I'll repeat it one more time. What you want to is NOT possible. Once a partition is mounted as one journal mode you can't remount it as another. You can umount it and mount it, but this can't be done on /. (You can't umount /.) You need to mount / in writeback mode at boot. The only way to do this if you use an initrd is to make sure linuxrc in your initrd is using the right options. If you are using a kernel with ext3 compiled in you need to give the rooflags option.
