Use the BDRV_O_CACHE_* flags instead.

Doesn't apply to qemu.git because...

...this is ioreq->presync = ioreq->postsync = 1;

And while we're at it, the commit message could mention that there was
no way to set this flag anyway, so we're just removing dead code.

That's because it is based on top of the following two patches:

xen_disk: use bdrv_aio_flush instead of bdrv_flush
http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=133434258008959&w=2

xen_disk: implement BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE, remove BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER
http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=133459581417878&w=2

I have just sent a pull request for them
(http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=133526669019403) after leaving lying
around for a while.
Next time do you want me to send xen_disk specific pull request to you
instead? Sorry if I shouldn't have sent the pull request directly...

I see. I wasn't aware that you're doing pull requests, but it isn't a
problem. It just means that you should probably do a pull request for
this one as well instead of expecting that I pick it up. But you can
have my Acked-by, if you like.

Should I ignore xen_disk patches from now on for the block branch and
assume that you pick them up?

I am happy to issue pull requests for xen_disk patches, but I still
welcome your reviews :-)
