EINVAL is a concern here.  Not due to the right error reported, but
because it means your current scheme is fundamentally broken - we
need to support I/O at any alignment for DAX I/O, and not fail due to
alignbment concernes for a highly specific degraded case.

I think this whole series need to go back to the drawing board as I
don't think it can actually rely on using direct I/O as the EIO
fallback.
