I really think this patch can be useful, in my own case when testing debian-installer (I already cache=writeback). In short all that is about developing and testing, as opposed to run a VM in production, can benefit about that. This was one of the original use case of QEMU before KVM arrived. Unless someone can convince me not to do it, I seriously considering applying this patch.
There really needs to be an indication in the --help output of what the ramifications of this option are, in the very least. It should also be removable via a ./configure option because no sane distribution should enable this for end users.
