	: turn on QUEUE_ORDERED_FLUSH by default if ordered tag isn't supported

	As flushing can now be used by devices which only support
	simple tags, there's no need to use
	Scsi_Host_Template->ordered_flush to enable it selectively.
	This patch removes ->ordered_flush and enables flushing
	implicitly when ordered tag isn't supported.  If the device
	doesn't support flushing, it can just return -EOPNOTSUPP for
	flush requests.  blk layer will switch to QUEUE_OREDERED_NONE
	automatically.


This is rather nice...
