Oh, right, we can simply remove REQ_HARDBARRIER completely.

Do you want to change the whole thing in a single commit?  That would
be a pretty big invasive patch touching multiple subsystems.  Also, I
don't know what to do about drdb and would like to leave its
conversion to the maintainer (in separate patches).

Eh, well, this is mostly logistics.  Jens, what do you think?

Here's the combined patch I've been working on.  I've verified loop
and virtio_blk/loop.  I just (like five mins ago) got dm/dm conversion
compiling, so I'm sure they're broken.  The neat part is that thanks
to the separation between REQ_FLUSH and FUA handling, bio mangling
drivers only have to sequence the pre-flush and pass FUA directly to
lower layers which in many cases saves an array-wide cache flush
cycle.

After getting this patch working, the only remaining bits would be
blktrace and drdb.

Thanks.
