Stephen,

I have not implemented O_SYNC in NWFS, but it looks like I need to add it
before posting the final patches. This patch appears to force write-through
of only dirty inodes, and allow reads to continue from cache. Is this
assumption correct, and does this comply with TPC rules for ORACLE and
other DBMS benchmarks? It looks like a good patch that will perform
very fast for O_SYNC.
