Hi Wido,

This is for KVM (with Ceph backend as it happens), the API documentation is out 
of sync with UI capabilities, so I'm trying to figure out if we *should* be 
able to set cacheMode for root disks.  It seems to make quite a difference to 
performance.

What hypervisor?

In case of KVM it's passed down to XML which then passes it to Qemu/KVM which 
then handles the caching.

The implementation varies per hypervisor, so that should be the question.
