Yeah, that was probably my failure to do the merge correctly; I'm
hoping that Ritesh will be able to fix that up.  If not we can throw
an "experimental" config to enable dioread_nolock on subpage
blocksizes, just to warn people that under some extreme workloads,
they might end up corrupting their allocation bitmap, which then might
lead to data loss.  I suspect it would actually work fine for most
users; but out of paranoia, if we can't figure out the generic/270
failure before the merge window, we can just make dioread_nolock_1k
experimental for now.
