>Description:
        The DIOCCACHESYNC ioctl is undocumented, but wapbl(4) relies on
        it to flush the disk cache.  The cgd driver does not implement
        this ioctl, so crashes while writing to a file system on a vnd
        are likely to encounter more corruptioon than they should.
>How-To-Repeat:
        Code inspection
>Fix:
        A DIOCCACHESYNC at the cgd level should become a DIOCCACHESYNC
        on the underlying disk device.  At present, the cgd layer simply
        passes the ioctl on to dk_ioctl(), which does not implement it.
