I don't currently have a use case for NV-DIMM support.

However, it would be nice if this code could be leveraged to support
'force O_DIRECT on all I/O to this file' - that I *do* have a use
case for. Patch 20 looks to my untrained eye like it *almost* gets
there.

(And if in fact it *does* do the whole enchilada, the Changelog etc should
mention it :)
