flush starts writing the specified page to flash and signals
completion "immediiately" (well, before the write completes). sync
does the same thing, but only signals completion when the write is
complete.

Note that the pages are handled like a cache, so may be flushed anyway
because of subsequent reads or writes. But if you want to ensure data
is written, you do need to call sync or flush.
