Works just fine for me on 3.7.3 on Ubuntu, reading 4096 bytes. How is it 
failing for you? Is an exception raised?

It does seem faintly dangerous to explicitly use O_DIRECT when you're wrapping 
it in a buffered reader that doesn't know it has to read in units matching the 
minimum block size (file system dependent on older kernels, 512 bytes in Linux 
kernel 2.6+); BufferedIOBase.readinto is explicitly documented to potentially 
issue multiple read calls (readinto1 guarantees it won't do that at least).
