[PATCH 2/5 UPDATED] virtio_blk: drop REQ_HARDBARRIER support

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Aug 19 2010 - 11:18:52 EST


Remove now unused REQ_HARDBARRIER support. virtio_blk already
supports REQ_FLUSH and the usefulness of REQ_FUA for virtio_blk is
questionable at this point, so there's nothing else to do to support
new REQ_FLUSH/FUA interface.

REQ_FUA support dropped as suggested by Christoph.
