I discussed the issue with phk further. The reason for discarding
the 30K of the read 32K block is that md(4) supplies IO_DIRECT flag
for VOP_READ, and FFS avoids putting the read data into any cache.
Most likely, we can implement a sysctl that would disable direct
reads, at the cost of double-buffering the data. For obvious reasons,
it is impossible to disable caching from the filesystem living on
top of md(4) volume.
