 *	with fsync(), but because skipping the kernel buffer forces writes out
 *	quickly, it seems best just to use it for O_SYNC.  It is hard to imagine
 *	how fsync() could be a win for O_DIRECT compared to O_SYNC and O_DIRECT.
 *	Also, O_DIRECT is never enough to force data to the drives, it merely
 *	tries to bypass the kernel cache, so we still need O_SYNC or fsync().
