Alberto Garcia 2693310ecc qcow2: use an LRU algorithm to replace entries from the L2 cache
The current algorithm to evict entries from the cache gives always
preference to those in the lowest positions. As the size of the cache
increases, the chances of the later elements of being removed decrease
exponentially.

In a scenario with random I/O and lots of cache misses, entries in
positions 8 and higher are rarely (if ever) evicted. This can be seen
even with the default cache size, but with larger caches the problem
becomes more obvious.

Using an LRU algorithm makes the chances of being removed from the
cache independent from the position.
