This patch adds a new class for dm-delay that delays flush requests. Previously, flushes were delayed as writes, but it caused problems if the user needed to create a device with one or few slow sectors for the purpose of testing - all flushes would be forwarded to this device and delayed, and that skews the test results. This patch allows to select 0 delay for flushes.
