That test case is odd, because it makes some weird assumptions about
what RWF_NOWAIT means. Most notably that it makes it mean if we should
instantiate blocks or not. Where did those assumed semantics come from?
On the read side, we have clearly documented that it should "not wait
for data which is not immediately available".

Now it is possible that we're returning a spurious -EAGAIN here when we
should not be. And that would be a bug imho. I'll dig in and see what's
going on.
