Guest's initial sequence number can be found in the SYN package that

Issuing 'killall kvm' leaves the terminal on which kvm was running in

You also missed:
" This system call does not flush disk write caches and thus does not
provide any data integrity on systems with volatile disk write
caches."
so it's not safe if you either have a cache, or are using btrfs, or
are using a sparse image, or are using an image preallocated using
fallocate/posix_fallocate.

Add a command line debug option to add a fix amount of delay in read and

From Ingo "the delays are *constant* [make sure you use a high-res timers

block IO does.

This way you are basically 'emulating' a real disk drive but you will
emulate uniform latencies, which makes measurements a lot more
reliable - while still relevant to the end result."

kvm tools: Add QCOW level2 caching support
QCOW uses two tables level1 (L1) table and level2 (L2) table. The L1 table
points to offset of L2 table. When a QCOW image is probed, the L1 table is
cached in the memory to avoid reading it from disk on every access. This
caching improves the performance.
The similar performance improvement can be observed when L2 tables are cached.
It is impossible to cache all of the L2 tables because of the memory
constraint. The patch adds L2 table caching capability for up to 32 L2 tables,
it uses combination of RB tree and List to manage the L2 cached tables. The
link list implementation helps in building simple LRU structure and RB tree
helps to search cached table efficiently.
To calculate the performance numbers, the VM was started with following
command line arguments
