Have you actually tried that out with a patch such as the following?

No clue if this is spec-compliant. ;)
Note however that qemu_fdatasync() is done in the flush callback of
block/raw-posix.c, so IIUC everything calling bdrv_aio_flush() or
bdrv_flush_all() may potentially run into issues beyond just ATA:
hw/block/virtio-blk.c
hw/block/xen_disk.c
hw/ide/core.c
hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c
cpus.c:do_vm_stop()
hw/xen/xen_platform.c:platform_fixed_ioport_writew()
qemu_fdatasync() further occurs in:
hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c:process_request()
hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-*.c
Quite possibly not all of them are problematic, but flush times >30 sec
are very likely not well tested by developers...

Andreas
