Huh? Sounds like something is seriously screwed up in your kernel
build then. CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO should should result in 2 things only:

- direct.c gets compiled.

- the 'direct_IO' address space operation gets defined, so that the
VFS knows what to do with files that get opened with the O_DIRECT
flag.

None of the ordinary NFS read and write code paths should be affected
by the above.

Cheers,
Trond
