block/mirror.c is asynchronous, and there's no support for communicating
checkpoints back to the master.  However, the quorum disk driver could
be what you need.

There's also a series on the mailing list that lets quorum read only
from the primary, so that quorum can still do replication and fault
tolerance, but skip fault detection.
