What you are asking for could easily lead to an infinite loop:
recording all filesystem changes on the filesystem being monitored
is a sure way to crash your system.


If you really want it now and can't wait until the kernel
developers add such a feature:

- get the sources of some userland filesystem like CFS, the
  cryptographic file system by Matt Blaze (it's similar to NFS
  with an extra encryption layer)

- add your desired hooks

- mount the directory/ies of interest on some other filesystem

- enjoy
