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.
Upon closer inspection of the code, this seems to not be the case for LBA48 transfers.The current bottleneck seems to be that MAX_MULT_COUNT is only 16.
