I guess it's about the time to remove it. I've tested the patch on i386. Before the patch calling bdflush() with attempt to tune a variable returned 0 and after the patch the syscall fails with EINVAL. You can use the now deleted LTP bdflush testcase for testing: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/commit/53ede74305ff7f6498d7456b6e3ea3053ed4b7dd Also I'm not 100% sure that I patched all the syscall tables correctly, so this needs a proper review from arch maintainers.
