IMO, this is a hack. Why should fs worry about if it as fit image or
not. Also the read performance will be very slow if you do not pass the
aligned buffer address.  I had a different approach[1] for this: first
copy the image to aligned buffer and then do a memcpy to the proper
destination(which showed a better performance). May be this is wrong.

Simon, which one do you prefer?
