  For POSIX write semantics, yes?

I could be wrong, but I think posix semantics are enforced by the file
server even if you remove all the fsyncs.  The only reason to fsync is so
that the file system will be consistent after a crash.  Maybe someone who
knows the code better can correct me if that's wrong.
