Thinking about this a little more -- I suppose we shouldn't just go
breaking directio reads from a verity file if we can help it.  Is there
a way to ask fsverity to perform its validation against some arbitrary
memory buffer that happens to be fs-block aligned?  In which case we
could support fsblock-aligned directio reads without falling back to the
page cache?
