Description:
Currently, the only way to force a flush of the key buffer/cache is to "restructure" it or change
the size:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/key-cache-restructuring.html

It would be nice if you could simply use something like mysql> FLUSH KEY CACHE; that
would trigger:
flush_key_blocks(share->key_cache,share->kfile,FLUSH_FORCE_WRITE);

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
