I had also missed that fcntl option :/

Yeah, currently FOPEN_PARALLEL_DIRECT_WRITES does not have an effect 
without FOPEN_DIRECT_IO. In my fuse-dio consolidation branch that 
changes. For me it is ok that parallel dio requires
FOPEN_DIRECT_IO, easy enough to set on the server side in open methods 
when O_DIRECT is set. We should just document it in fuse.h.

Note to myself, I need to make double sure that our (Dharmendras/mine) 
atomic open branch gets updated.
