Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] block: loop: prepare for supporing direct IO
This patches provides two approaches for enabling direct IO
from user space:
- userspace(such as losetup) can pass 'file' which is
opened/fcntl as O_DIRECT
- sysfs file is provided to run dio tests easily
Also __loop_update_dio() is introduced to check if direct I/O
can be used on current loop setting.
