I see. It sounds like good as long term solution though (if no effect
other than disabling flush command), it may need some monitor daemon and
detect the device, and apply user policy as root. (BTW, I meant,
workaround is normal user controllable with config by root or such)

I think, it may not be good as short term solution for especially stable
users. If there is no better short term solution, I would like to still
push this patch as short term workaround.

Thanks.
