virtio_blk and loop.  bvut I have investigated this further, and the
reason why I still saw the warnings is that xfs does a
blkdev_issue_flush on unomunt which is not protected by the barrier
flag, so it gets issued unconditionally.  So we got the additional
warning on unmount.  I've sent a patch to make the blkdev_issue_flush
conditionally to fix that issue.
