I'd really like to see qemu-io gain access to calling this command, so
that we can add iotests coverage of this new feature. Note that the
in-development libnbd
(https://github.com/libguestfs/libnbd/commits/master) is also usable as
an NBD client that can drive NBD_CMD_CACHE, although it's still new
enough that we probably don't want to rely on it being available yet.
