New flag, equivalent to removal of IOCB_DSYNC from iocb flags. This mimics what btrfs is doing (and that's what btrfs will switch to). However, I'm not at all sure that we want to suppress REQ_FUA for those - all btrfs hack really cares about is suppression of generic_write_sync(). For now let's keep the existing behaviour, but I really want to hear more detailed arguments pro or contra.
