O_DIRECT on Linux has alignment requirements on I/O buffers and
misaligned requests result in -EINVAL.  The Linux virtio_blk guest
driver usually submits aligned requests so I forgot to handle misaligned
requests.

It turns out that virtio-win guest drivers submit misaligned requests.
Handle them using a bounce buffer that meets alignment requirements.

This is still wrong, how did you test it?

I sent it before reading the reviews from you and Kevin.  Bizarrely
Windows saw the files I copied to the disk - even across reboot (no
buffer cache involved?).  Or is Windows 8 doing tricks like "shutdown"
is actually "suspend to disk"?

As far as I know this is exactly what it's doing. I've seen warnings
that you shouldn't mount file systems of a dual-boot Windows 8 if you
didn't change its options so that it really shuts down.
