As per previous discussion:  I don't really care about the way how we
tell the block layer we have a writeback cache, but a NAK to having
each driver call two interfaces to convey the same information.

Please just look at q->flush_flag & REQ_FLUSH for now, and then
improvem the interface if you don't like it (I don't particularly like
it, but not to the point that I'm motivated enough to fix it :))
