Issues with ignore-db-dir

Hello, I see that the ignore-db-dir option has been available since
Maria 5.3.9 ( https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-539-changelog/ ) ,
however I am finding that MariaDB 5.5.27 is not recognizing the option.
When I put "ignore-db-dir=lost+found" in the mysqld section of the
my.cnf file or when I attempt to start mysqld with "/etc/init.d/mysql
start --ignore-db-dir=lost+found", both times mysql fails to start with
the following message:

130111 17:08:57 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable
'ignore-db-dir=lost+found' 130111 17:08:57 [ERROR] Aborting
Is there a patch that I was supposed to apply but haven't ? Or maybe I
am misunderstanding how or where to specify the ignore-db-dir option.

For reference, the full version as reported by mysqld is:

$ mysqld --version
mysqld  Ver 5.5.27-MariaDB for Linux on x86_64 (MariaDB Server)

Thanks, -Said
