If you want to test that the patch fixes what it promises you only have 
to create a qcow or qcow2 image and start qemu with cache=off for this 
image. This will fail without the patch, and it should work with the 
patch applied. This covers the simple case. For the aio part of the 
patch you can try saving/loading of snapshots. Normal qcow2 operation 
doesn't trigger the aio code path.
