I am proposing these two patches for 3.2. They allow the backend
to process the REQ_FUA request as well. Previous to these patches
it only did REQ_FLUSH. There is also a bug-fix for the logic
of how barrier/flushes were handled.

The patches are based on a branch which also has 'feature-discard'
patches, so they won't apply nativly on top of 3.1-rc5.

Please review and if there are no concerns I will send a proper
git pull to Jens to pick up the whole branch for 3.2.
