I don't think so. If the application (or other code) issues smaller
I/Os, the underlying driver will have to implement as RMW. If the
filesystem or app code uses 4K aligned and sized buffers, then there
won't be a need to do RMW.
We might need to change the code slightly to express the 4K size in the
various ioctls, but that can happen latter when I run into such a
device. (The current devices supported by this device driver all use
512 byte blocks.)
