I understand that.  I can, however, round up the netfs I/O granule size and
alignment to a multiple of the cachefile I/O block size.  Also, I'm doing DIO,
so I have to use block size multiples.

But if the filesystem can avoid bridging large, appropriately sized and
aligned blocks, then I can use it.
