REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH may not make much sense on SD cards or USB sticks.
However, the behavior of SCSI/ATAPI type devices with lazy write cache is
 - Issue the SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command to write all the data to the medium.
 - Issue a WRITE command with FORCE_UNIT_ACCESS (device does not use write cache) for the boot sector.
This guarantees a strict write order.
