Or just get my devel rsync.

Actually, what happened is that Marcelo took the version that was
in -ac tree, which I sent to Alan a while ago and is now outdated.
The io_flush macro was something I added to the arch includes and
later removed as I fixed the problem differently.

Marcelo: I sent you a fixed version, please do not apply this patch
but rather the one I sent you.
