Hi Ming,

ublk implements REQ_OP_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, but will never see those as
it never calls blk_queue_write_cache.  Can we drop the code?  Or should
there be a flag to enable write cache and fua support when setting up
a device?
There should have been flags defined in ublksrv_ctrl_dev_info for describe
wc/fua info, since ublk_drv doesn't handle any device specific logic.

So please keep REQ_OP_FLUSH and REQ_FUA which two should be useful, and I
will add flags and related code to use them.


Thanks,
Ming
