[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 4/5] block: add flush callback

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

This patch adds callback for flush request. This callback is responsible
for flushing whole block devices stack. bdrv_flush function does not
proceed to underlying devices. It should be performed by this callback
function, if needed.
