  Currently host page cache setting for a block device cannot be changed
without restarting a running VM. Following patchset [V2] is for enabling 
dynamic change of host cache setting for devices through qemu monitor.

Changes from patchset V1:
1. Support of dynamic cache change only for hostcache.
2. Monitor command "hostcache_get" added to display current cache setting
3. Backed off the changes for display of cache setting in "info block"

Two new monitor commands added.
1. hostcache_get 
    -- Displays hostcache setting of a block device.
Usage:
"hostcache_get <device>
   <device> = block device

2. hostcache_set
    -- Sets hostcache for the device to specified value.
Usage:
"hostcache_set <device> <cache>"
   <device> = block device      
   <cache> = "on"/"off"

1/2 New error classes for file reopen and device insertion
2/2 Add commands "hostcache_set" and "hostcache_get"
