emergency_sync is a relaly bad idea and has all kinds of issues.
It should go away and not grow more users outside of core code,
and the one Guenther points to should never have been added.

If we want to allow emergency shutdowns it needs a proper interface
and not a remount read-only ignoring some rules that tends to make
things worse and instad of better, and even for that I'm not sure
I want modules to be able to drive it.
