*whoa*

OK, that loop in check_direct_IO() should be done *ONLY* for
iovec iter - even for a bvec one it's completely bogus, and
for pipe ones it blows up immediately.

Sorry, I'd missed that bogosity - replace
        if (iov_iter_rw(iter) == WRITE)
		return 0;
with
	if (iov_iter_rw(iter) != READ || !iter_is_iovec(iter))
		return 0;
in there; that should fix the damn thing.
