    Subject[PATCH 3/3] ext4: Deprecate barrier= and nobarrier mount options
    As part of migrating the FLUSH/FUA knob to the block layer, remove the support
    code for the barrier-related mount options and remove the conditionals around
    flushes in favor of always issuing the flush. The block layer will handle
    gracefully the situation where a FLUSH or FUA request is issued to a device
    that doesn't support it. Modify the option parsing code to print a warning if
    someone tries to use the old mount option.

    Note: The nobarrier bit in the default mount flags is now useless.
