I understand now. Here is the updated webrev to directly map IO_Append
to handleWrite in *nix platforms,
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dxu/8001334/webrev.03/.
I checked FileOutputStream.java source code, and we do guarantee the
consistency of append flag between open and write operations. Thanks!

Hi Alan,
Do you mean directly map IO_Append to handleWrite in io_util_md.h for
the *nix case? And then where do we check the O_APPEND flag in our
code? Or do we require users to open the file with O_APPEND flag?
Thanks!
Yes, either IO_Append is defined to be handleWrite or else add
handleAppend that simply calls handleWrite. There's no need to check
O_APPEND after the file is opened for append, not on *nix anyway.
