Impossible, IMHO. The entire idea of the combined writes (FW=OFF + 
MaxUnflushed* set up) is that pages are written into the file system 
cache (and it doesn't not guarantee any disk writes) and then flushed as 
a batch (and it doesn't guarantee the write order). So the OS plays 
against us here.

The only way to guarantee ordered writes is to flush individual pages 
and this is what FW=ON does.

I don't see how it could be done without WAL.
