Sheepdog supports both writeback/writethrough write but has not yet supported
DIRECTIO semantics which bypass the cache completely even if Sheepdog daemon is
set up with cache enabled.
Suppose cache is enabled on Sheepdog daemon size, the new cache control is
cache=writeback # enable the writeback semantics for write
cache=writethrough # enable the emulated writethrough semantics for write
cache=directsync # disable cache competely
Guest WCE toggling on the run time to toggle writeback/writethrough is also
supported.
