You only need to add REQ_FLUSH support.  The virtio-blk protocol does
not support REQ_FUA, because there's no easy way to do it in userspace.

A bio-based driver needs to handle both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA as it does
not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request based drivers
can request.  To what the REQ_FUA request gets translated is a different story.

I just sent out V5 to support both REQ_FLUSH AND REQ_FUA.
Thanks, Christoph!
