That was my mistake. Someone told me (I think it was jhb_at_), that twe(4)
turns off write cache automatically when there is no battery, so
BIO_FLUSH isn't really needed and if there is a battery, it also isn't
really needed. It would be nice to hide the warning in this case
somehow, but for now you should be safe by simply ignoring the warning.
