  HAMMER: Mass storage flush command support
  
  Add mass storage flush command support to HAMMER.  The HAMMER flush cycle
  issues async I/O in parallel and waits for it to complete before moving
  onto the next stage.  This occurs in two places.  The new flush command
  is issued after the async I/O, and then we wait on everything.
  
 
What's the status of UFS with soft updates with respect to disk cache 
flushing? Doesn't do it currently and therefore can't provide its 
guarantees for consistency after a power failure?
