I would have imagined it'd be intertwined generically with the VFS layer
(or Linux equiv). But if Linux waits for the disk to finish (or, rather,
for the disk to lie about finishing), then perhaps it's only a practical
concern if you're planning on doing something physical with the drive,
e.g. powering it down or something weird like that :-)
