v7: - Rebase against the current master. - Update version number in the 'since' field of the 'cache-clean-interval' option.
v6: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg01929.html - Update documentation to clarify what "unused entries" mean. v5: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg00573.html - Fix build in mingw. - Use getpagesize() instead of sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE). - Clarify that 0 is the default value for 'cache-clean-interval', and that it disables the feature. - Add the patch that documents how to configure the cache to this series, expanded with the explanation of 'cache-clean-interval'. (previous version: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg02253.html) v4: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg06120.html - Revert the 'cache-clean-interval' change.
