--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
You can do "cat /path/to/key | ssh-add -" since openssh-5.9 if you
really need to.

We don't want to relax this check, it's a little blunt but it does
ensure that private keys have a basic level of protection. You might
also consider adjusting the mount options of your FAT filesystems so
that they are mount with more restrictive permissions (uid, gid, umask,
etc.)
