Add unsafe cache mode support for disk driver
QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes it in the libvirt layer. * Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE), as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe is supported. * Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
