Forgot to attach the code, here it is...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/hdreg.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char args[7];
	int fd;

	if (argc < 2) {
		printf("%s: <dev>\n", argv[0]);
		return 1;
	}

	fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
	if (fd == -1) {
		perror("open");
		return 2;
	}

	memset(args, 0, 7);
	args[0] = 0xE7;

	printf("issuing FLUSH_CACHE: ");
	if (ioctl(fd, HDIO_DRIVE_TASK, args) == -1)
		printf("failed 0x%x/0x%x!\n", args[0], args[1]);
	else
		printf("worked\n");

	memset(args, 0, 7);
	args[0] = 0xEA;

	printf("issuing FLUSH_CACHE_EXT: ");
	if (ioctl(fd, HDIO_DRIVE_TASK, args) == -1)
		printf("failed 0x%x/0x%x!\n", args[0], args[1]);
	else
		printf("worked\n");

	close(fd);
	return 0;
}
