The flush is certainly optional.  The reason we never saw this bug is because 
it was only used by some code not in the mainline, where it is in fact patched. 
 The out of tree patch hooked into the reboot notifier.

It makes me wonder if using the reboot notifier is enough vs the call backs you 
placed in the critical power off points in your patch [4/4].   I'll respond 
separately to that thread because there are other folks in the CC line.

If we decide to roll with this series, I will definitely merge this patch, else 
I will remove the code since it is not used except for out of tree patches.

Thanks,
Jason.
