I think this is a bug in the block layer, we should not treat a sync as write for the purposes of is read-only checks, as it never writes data to the device. At the request layer we alread use the proper REQ_OP_FLUSH, but at the bio layer we are still abusing empty writes apparently. I'll try to cook up something over the weekend.
