Commit 47e2463d8a98a7535e141d59d17be17d5a30862c added logic to enable
%_flush_io automatically on non-rotational disks to avoid trashing system

but real world experience suggests otherwise. Install times go from
seconds to minutes which might not matter for the random individual system
but for build systems and the like churning away continuously...
