Technical correctness aside, I'm not convinced it's generally a good idea to
bubble up one specific IO control mechanism's detail all the way upto RA
layer. Besides what's the gain here? For continuous IO stream, whether some
RA bios are oversized or not shouldn't matter, no? Doesn't this just affect
the accuracy of the last RA IO of a finite read stream?
Thanks.
