[Qemu-devel] [v2 Patch 8/9]block: Cmd "block_set_hostcache" for dynamic cache change

[Supriya Kannery]

New command "block_set_hostcache" added for dynamically changing
host pagecache setting of a block device.

Usage:
 block_set_hostcache  <device> <option>
   <device> = block device
   <option> = on/off

Example:
 (qemu) block_set_hostcache ide0-hd0 off
