Huge. In effect fsync is ignored. So if the host dies, write order is not 
guaranteed and can toast the guest file system.

The guest dying shouldn't pose a problem because the write order is eventually 
honored by the host. There's a variety of complex journal replay behaviors of 
the various file systems that'll come into play (no pun intended).
