How so? And write barriers don't exist anymore - I think you mean
flush support. And I believe they are fixed now - flush requests
are passed through to the bottom layer (the real disk). But let
me double check that shortly.
Portability to non-linux OS? ? What do you mean by that? As in using
this patch on NetBSD or OpenSolaris backend? The backend in those
OS-es is quite different so it wouldn't be "portable"
