Not sure about that. iosync() will do a sync but it's not meant at being
used for things unrelated to IOs (and who knows... we might make it do
something else one day ?).

In low level arch code like that, an open coded sync might be proper
especially if it matches some documented sequence.

Cheers,
Ben.
