have to write a library for that (or perhaps go back to sfdisk but
using a very abstracted interface over sfdisk).

qemu caching
------------

(Suggested by Paolo Bonzini and Kevin Wolf)

Measure the effect of cache=none, cache=directsync,
cache=writethrough, cache=writeback.

It's doubtful that using cache=none is useful, since it disables the
host cache making read-heavy workloads slower (they rely entirely on
the smaller appliance kernel's cache). And in libguestfs we don't
necessarily care about ongoing data integrity while writing, as long
as data is reliably written out when g.sync, g.shutdown or g.close
return. Also in libguestfs we effectively control the whole stack, so
we can ensure write barriers happen when we want.
