There are couple of things wrong in there actually. First of all when
the file is prepared in the test setup the flags passed on the
commandline shouldn't be used at all, since the buffer in the function
that fills the file with random data is not aligned at all.

Secondly looking at the flags in the failing open we seem to pass O_RDWR
so my guess would be that O_DIRECT is supported only for O_RDONLY or
O_WRONLY file descriptors.
