[PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devices
Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through
generic direct_io_worker for block device.
direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.
For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.
