You only need to add REQ_FLUSH support. The virtio-blk protocol does

A bio-based driver needs to handle both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA as it does
not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request based drivers
can request. To what the REQ_FUA request gets translated is a different story.
I just sent out V5 to support both REQ_FLUSH AND REQ_FUA.
Thanks, Christoph!
