FLUSH_CACHE .. I would hope the firmware supports that if advertised. If so
then adding it to the switch in it821x_smart_qc_issue might do the trick
(ATA_CMD_FLUSH and ATA_CMD_FLUSH_EXT). I'd be interested to know if your
firmware seems to support that or whether the entire thing goes castors up
if it gets through.
