> VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE is important in order to achieve good performance (up to 2x, though more realistically +30-40%) in latency-bound workloads. However, it was removed by mistake together with VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH.
> The lack of this feature means that virtio 1.0 cs02 does not achieve parity with 0.9.
