[PATCH v6 0/7] NFS DIRECT: align misaligned DIO for LOCALIO

[Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>]

Hi,

NFS and LOCALIO in particular benefit from avoiding the page cache for
workloads that have a working set that is significantly larger than
available system memory. Enter: NFS DIRECT, which makes it possible to
always enable LOCALIO to use O_DIRECT even if the IO is not
DIO-aligned.

Changes since v5:
- I split the NFS changes back out for v6 since the NFSD DIRECT
  changes have started to land in nfsd-testing
- With the benefit of having updated the NFSD trace points to use an
  EVENT_CLASS I have now updated NFS's equivalents to also use one.
- Updated patch headers.
- Patches 4 and 5, while not strictly needed, are "nice to have"
  because they evolve the NFS LOCALIO code to a better place.

All review appreciated, thanks.
Mike
