I got some comments from Alan, who would like to see this behaviour
tunable with hdparm from inside the guest.  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.

The current bottleneck seems to be that MAX_MULT_COUNT is only 16.
I will try raising this to 256 so we can transport a lot more data
per world and domain switch...
