I agree that's why this was RFC not regular patch.
I have looked at your solution and also Simon's comments and truth is
that your patch has a lot of duplicated stuff.
This solution is smaller.
Regarding buffer alignment. I think this can be simply added to read
function to keep it in the right place.

Thanks,
Michal
