Subject[PATCH] let fat handle MS_SYNCHRONOUS flag
Hi,

this patch is an RFC patch not to be applied.
It adds MS_SYNCHRONOUS support to FAT filesystem, so that less
filesystem breakage happen when disconnecting an USB key, for
example. I'd like to have comments about it, because as it
seems to work fine here, I'm not used to fs drivers and could
have made mistakes.
Thanks,
