Patch Set 3: Looks good to me, but someone else must approve

I think the debate comes down to one question:  Is it an error if a caller asks 
for a file to be opened O_DIRECT but for some reason O_DIRECT is not possible.

In my opinion, O_DIRECT is an advisory/optimization.  In other words, if it is 
not honored vdsm will still function correctly (albeit maybe with lower 
performance).  Given this, I would say it is not an error to silently drop the 
O_DIRECT flag for paths where it is not supported.
