No other architecture intentionally writes back dirty cache lines into
a buffer that a device has just finished writing into. If the cache is
clean, this has no effect at all, but if a cacheline in the buffer has
actually been written by the CPU,  there is a drive bug that is likely
made worse by overwriting that buffer.

FYI [1] proposed this same change a while ago but its justification was
flawed (which was my objection at the time, not the diff itself).
