Here I'm attaching two patches that make it report 'F' on flush error. But
I think it's not really important, the flush error could be treated as
write error, there is no need for special handling of flush errors ---
both flush errors and write errors can happen either on transport errors
or if the device is out of spare sectors.
Note that this approach of reporting flushes speciall also breaks
new-kernel-with-old-userspace case.

Report flush errors as 'F' instead of 'D' for log and mirror devices.
