From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
There's no need to align the memory buffer for the direcio write to the
file allocation unit size; base page size will do. This fixes the
following error when generic/761 is run against an XFS rt filesystem
with a 28k rtextsize:
QA output created by 761
+failed to allocate aligned memory
+cat: /opt/foobar: No such file or directory
Silence is golden
