For future reference, here is a link to this: http://dev.mysql.com/worklog/task/?id=4925
I didn't think that sync_binlog=1 is required anymore for safe reliction.
We are always using group commit in MariaDB 10.0 for the master, so the binary log will be synced for each group commit, which is safe.
The preallocation of binary logs will of course speed up the syncs a bit, but probably not as much as suggested in the worklog task.

Currently we don't have any plans to implement this ourselves to MariaDB. However if MySQL 5.6 gets this or anyone from the community provides us with a patch, we will get it into MariaDB 10.0 too.
This is of course something that a customer can sponsor us, if they think this would be useful for them....
