rejecting, see open(2):

       The O_DIRECT flag was introduced in SGI IRIX, where it has alignment restrictions sim‐
       ilar to those of Linux 2.4. IRIX has also a fcntl(2) call to query appropriate align‐
       ments, and sizes. FreeBSD 4.x introduced a flag of same name, but without alignment
       restrictions. Support was added under Linux in kernel version 2.4.10. Older Linux
       kernels simply ignore this flag. One may have to define the _GNU_SOURCE macro to get
       its definition.
