I guess thats the O_DSYNC thingy. See the "Defaulting wal_sync_method to
fdatasync on Linux for 9.1?" (performance) and "Revert default wal_sync_method
to fdatasync on Linux 2.6.33+" on hackers.
O_DSYNC got finally properly implemented on linux with 2.6.33 (and thus 2.6.32-
rc1).

That one looks pretty uninteresting. Barriers are slower then no barriers. No
surprise there.
