I wonder if you ought to just change the posix_memalign call to match
(somewhat more closely) what the other directio testers do:
ret = posix_memalign((void **)&wbuf, sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE), blksize);
Since the alignment of the memory buffer doesn't necessarily have
anything to do with the alignment of the read/write offset.
(Longer term it would be /really/ nice to hoist DIOINFO to all the
filesystems, and refactor fstests to use it consistently, but that's way
too big of a request for this patchset.)
