But again, its really useful to have raw driver to do simple "dd" tests
to test raw performance for disks (for comparing with filesystems, block
devices etc..). Without that, we need to add option to "dd" for
O_DIRECT.

Perhaps it's time for 'dd' to acquire something like the 'hdparm --direct' flag.
(and, oops, maybe I should add it to the man page for hdparm too!).
