Description:
Allow MyISAM tables to be used with Direct I/O.

Currently, Direct I/O can only be used with InnoDB (--forcedirectio option):

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-tuning.html

I realize that this cannot be done with MyISAM currently because MySQL does not cache data files.  However, if this is something that can be done in the future, that would be very helpful for those that have Direct I/O.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
N/A

This should be changed to a feature request for Maria. MyISAM will never cache data blocks so this will kill performance. Maria may already cache them today.
