[PATCH] O_DIRECT for ext3

O_DIRECT support for ext3.

It works OK in all journalling modes.

Updates to the file metadata and inode are journalled as usual.

If the system crashes during an appending O_DIRECT write then journal
recovery will truncate the written-to file back to the length which it
had on entry to that write.

If the system crashes during a file overwrite to existing blocks then
the file contents will be an unknown mixture of old and new.

If the system crashes during a file overwrite which instantiates new
blocks in the middle of the file then there is a possibility of
uninitialised disk blocks being present in the file post-recovery.
