Subject: [PATCH 1/3] block: Create sysfs knobs to override FLUSH/FUA
	support flags

This patch is the first in a series to refactor the barrier= mount options out
of the filesystem code.  This patch adds sysfs knobs to disable flush and FUA;
of course, the automatic default is the safe choice, i.e. to leave them
enabled.  Obviously, only a seasoned administrator should ever be overriding
the defaults.
