Given Florian's concern, sounds like you might have to write your own
kernel too.  In which case, generating a variant build of Postgres
that allows full_page_writes to be disabled is certainly not beyond
your powers.  But for the ordinary mortal DBA, I think this combination
is just too unsafe to even consider.
