I wonder if we can instead tweak the test to use larger sizes such
that all accesses ARE aligned even with O_DIRECT.
/me goes and reads the test...
# Note that the image size is not a multiple of the cluster size
_reset_img 2083k
Ah - we really DO have a test that depends on odd sizing; where
changing it to be more nicely aligned will break other assumptions in
the test.

And I agree that this one is beyond our control, so adding skip
support makes sense.
