I should point out that this is really "consistent metadata on disk before shutdown", so it really doesn't matter if your filesystem has a journal or not, it can still be implemented. Perhaps it woul dbe best to rename them for a generic ioctl to FS_GOING_DOWN_SYNC, FS_GOING_DOWN_METADATA_METASYNC and FS_GOING_DOWN_NOSYNC...
