Hm... is fio_alignment is specified in units of bytes? If so, then
shouldn't this be a __u32 so that we can handle some weird future device
that wants, say, 1MB alignment for its atomic IO?
I'm not sure there /are/ such weird devices, and the current patchset
assumes (probably sanely) that atomic requests only have to be
lba-aligned, but otoh this is a userland field and we have plenty of
reserved space.
Though, now that I look at the XFS ioinfo patch, I guess fio_alignment
is set only for O_DIRECT files? So it's really the required alignment
for directio operations.
(Now I think I'm simply confused about this field.)
