block device without page cache buffering

[folkert]

Hi,

What should a block device driver need to do to get all read/write
requests without any buffering from the page cache?
I think the iscsi initiation does this.
This is needed to get an existing pseudo block device to function as a
shared storage so that a cluster filesystem (gpfs/ocfs) can be put on it (nbd).
