v2 -> v3:
- I addressed everything that Pino mentioned last time.
- It's tricky to get a stable run when multiple copies of qemu are
involved, because the same cache files get overwritten by parallel
libguestfs. So I changed the names of the cache files to include
the qemu binary key (size, mtime), which removes this conflict.
This is in new patch 4/6.
Sorry I must have missed the motivation part so could you please remind
why locking needed to be turned off?
Thanks,
Roman.
