hmm, non-Java programmer here.. 
but I suspect that those JAVA_OPTS can accumulate. I recall adding 
JAVA_OPTS somewhere,
such that you do not have to modify the one geoserver startup script, 
but instead add to 
an application specific script somewhere.. but I will have to look it up

The option JSONP appears to add functionality, not change or remove 
fiunctionality, so 
I am guessing, that there will be no problem adding it.. The question 
is more, 
where to add it cleanly to setup and configuration.
