Looks good to me from virtiofs point of view.

Going forward, I am wondering should virtiofs use flushcache version as
well. What if host filesystem is using DAX and mapping persistent memory
pfn directly into qemu address space. I have never tested that.
Right now we are relying on applications to do fsync/msync on virtiofs
for data persistence.
