Ah, I meant o_do_not_cache. As I recall, o_nocaching is a remnant from 
the 2.2 syncrepl implementation - a hint to the backends that entries 
touched for a particular request aren't important and should not stay in 
the entry cache. A grep of the source tree shows that it is pretty much 
unused now.
