I have patches to do that, and to allow changing O_DIRECT via a monitor

Great it sounds like you have already implemented the two cases (guest wce and
host O_DIRECT) that we're talking about.
At least in theory. And for Linux I can add setting/clearing of O_SYNC
via fcntl easily, but what do we do for other hosts?
To start with, we can just fail the command at the QMP level.
I'm not sure
closing/reopening the backing file is easily feasible.
