[HACKERS] O_DIRECT

[Christopher Kings-Lynne]

The O_DIRECT flag has been added in FreeBSD 4.4 (386 & Alpha) also.  From
the release notes:

Kernel Changes

The O_DIRECT flag has been added to open(2) and fcntl(2). Specifying this
flag for open files will attempt to minimize the cache effects of reading
and writing.
