Any comments on this patch?
I got some comments from Alan, who would like to see this behaviour
tunable with hdparm from inside the guest. This requires larger
qemu changes though, to be specific an ->fsync callback into each
of the backing store drivers, so that is something for the qemu
mailing list.
Considering the AIO-based development going on in the qemu community,
I think we should stick with the O_SYNC band-aid. The idea Alan
described would just be a fancier band-aid.
The current bottleneck seems to be that MAX_MULT_COUNT is only 16.
Upon closer inspection of the code, this seems to not be the case for LBA48 transfers.
