[Qemu-devel] [PULL 15/18] blockdev: Split up 'cache' option

[Kevin Wolf]

The old 'cache' option really encodes three different boolean flags into
a cache mode name, without providing all combinations. Make them three
separate options instead and translate the old option to the new ones
for drive_init().

The specific boolean options take precedence if the old cache option is
specified as well, so the following options are equivalent:

-drive file=x,cache=none,cache.no-flush=true
-drive file=x,cache.writeback=true,cache.direct=true,cache.no-flush=true
