As READ/WRITE(6) doesn't have FUA field, we have to use WRITE(10) or
WRITE(16) on FUA writes. Above addition affects only FUA writes (no
effect on READs or normal WRITEs).

FUA write requests are generated only when a device reports DPOFUA
capability during sd attach, and only READ/WRITE(>=10) have FUA field,
so I think it's logical to assume that devices which report DPOFUA
support READ/WRITE(10).

Also, currently all SCSI disks default to READ/WRITE(10) and
use_10_for_rw is turned off only when READ/WRITE(10) fails w/
ILLEGAL_REQUEST. So, the assumption is that devices are at least
capable of properly terminating READ/WRITE(10)s with ILLEGAL REQUEST
when it doesn't like'em (thus turning off FUA).

Hmmm... Do you think I should add more tests before enabling FUA such
that we know WRITE(10) is supported (capacity test comes to mind).

Meaning...?
