Yuck, multiple boolean returns.... and when a new mode is added, we
possibly get another bool argument leading to another useless argument.
This could conceivably do nothing if each of the return args was NULL.

It seems what you're doing is translating or converting the
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_CACHE_* values into some mask that you'll use elsewhere
perhaps similar to virDomainDefFormatConvertXMLFlags.

I think this just returns an unsigned int mask that's particular to some
to be defined enum that would set the right bits so that when building
the command line we can add features based on those bits.

That way it really doesn't matter that direct and noflush aren't used
(yet) in any patch that's been posted...

Based on the patch 5 consumer qemuBuildDriveDevCacheStr - this would
DEFAULT would never happen.

Considering how/when this helper is being used, one would hope by the
time this is used that cachemode has already been verified to be in
range. It would seem that's true because virDomainDiskDefDriverParseXML
would have failed the virDomainDiskCacheTypeFromString.
