Hmmmm, to be honest, I am not sure we have to do it as Dave
suggested. I think that's just a work-around for current fstests.

IMHO, perform a buffered IO when user request direct IO without
any warning sounds not a good idea. Maybe adding a warning would
make it better.

I think we need more discussion about AIO&DIO in ubifs, and actually
I have a plan for it. But I have not listed the all cons and pros of
it so far.

Artem, what's your opinion?
