    Add cache=unsafe parameter to -drive · 016f5cf6

    Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
    don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.
    
    So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
    policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",
    as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.
    
    This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO
    fashion.
