Christian Limpach 113654b9fe [qemu] hdparm tunable IDE write cache for HVM
qemu 0.8.2 has a flush callback to the storage backends, so now it is
possible to implement hdparm tunable IDE write cache enable/disable for
guest domains, allowing people to pick speed or data consistency on a
case by case basis.

As an added benefit, really large LBA48 IOs will now no longer be broken
up into smaller IOs on the host side.

chris@kneesaa.uk.xensource.com 0a30ab0071 [qemu] Make sure disk writes really made it to disk before we report I/O
completion to the guest domain.  The DMA_MULTI_THREAD functionality
from the qemu-dm IDE emulation should make the performance overhead
of synchronous writes bearable, or at least comparable to native
hardware.
