this is not the blockdevice, but the obsolete raw device driver.  Please
benchmark and if nessecary fix the blockdevice O_DIRECT codepath insted
as the raw driver is slowly going away.

this is not the blockdevice, but the obsolete raw device driver.  Please
benchmark and if nessecary fix the blockdevice O_DIRECT codepath insted
as the raw driver is slowly going away.
