This hunk doesn't apply, there's no detection code for ext4 encryption
in current master. And do we need to filter out ext3 journal mode as
well?

And this patch mixed space and tab for indention.

Just curious, what's the problem running direct I/O tests on journal
mode ext4? ext4 falls back to buffered I/O in this case and I don't see
any test failures caused by it. Perhaps it'd be better to add this
information to commit log too.

Thanks,
Eryu
