I'm wondering what the symptoms are?

Right, the O_DIRECT patch from Linus was expected to fix the structure
alignment problem. The stuct field offsets are ok aren't they?

If we are seeing hangs, incorrect struct fields or similar something
should be done about it but if all is actually working ok then the
O_DIRECT fix is doing it's job and further changes aren't necessary.
