Doc Text Cause: libguestfs was using the cache=none mode for qemu.

Consequence: Disk images on XFS filesystems with 4k sector size cannot be used in libguestfs.

Fix: Introduce a "cachemode" parameter for add_drive APIs to control drive caching, defaulting to a safer cache mode.

Result: Disk images stored also on XFS filesystem with 4k sector size can be used.

Fix: Introduce a "cachemode" parameter for add_drive APIs to control drive caching, defaulting to a safer cache mode.

Result: Disk images stored also on XFS filesystem with 4k sector size can be used.
The libguestfs utilities were not able to use disk images on XFS file systems with 4-kilobyte sector size. This update introduces the "cachemode" parameter for the add_drive API, which controls drive caching and has a default value which allows disk images stored on the described file systems to be usable.
