Agree on Christophs comments, we should not pretend they are the same
(since they are not). Since flush is a request on its own, F works
nicely. For FUA it's associated with a write, so F should work there too
indicating Write Fua (and easily humanly parsed as that, or Write
Flush). WU would look confusing.
