MS Windows mounts removable storage in "Removal optimized mode" by

This prevents I/O requests aggregation in block layer dramatically
decreasing performance.

I wonder if it makes sense to make it per-LUN. I would imagine that it's great
to ignore FUA if the device has its own power supply in which case after disconnect
the data won't be lost. This is a per-device property not really per-LUN. As such
I'd make this option global for the gadget.

Shouldn't that read something like:

+ fsg_lun_fsync_sub(curlun);
ie. there is no sense in syncing if FUA was active (in which case all
writes were synced already, right?) or if the new value is false (since
then user does not won't syncing).
