I don't think we will try to support O_DIRECT. First, it is a rather
platform-specific flag. Second, Python's memory allocator doesn't allow
specifying an arbitrary alignment value. Third, I don't even think
O_DIRECT can make a positive difference in a Python program (the open()
manpage actually warns against likely performance degradation when using
O_DIRECT).
So I'm closing this bug, sorry.
