Can you expand on _why_ -EOPNOTSUPP handling is no longer needed?  And
please at it to the final patch header.

This removal isn't unique to DM's conversion to FLUSH+FUA but I couldn't
easily find the justification for its removal in the larger 30+ patch
patchset either -- other patches are terse on the removal too.

Other than that.
