    Log:
    Align the offset in vn_rdwr_inchunks() so that at most the first and
    the last chunk are misaligned relative to a MAXBSIZE byte boundary.
    vn_rdwr_inchunks() is used mainly for elf core dumps, and elf sections
    are usually perfectly misaligned relative to MAXBSIZE, and chunking
    prevents the file system from doing much realigning.
  
    This gives a surprisingly large speedup for core dumps -- from 50 to
    13 seconds for a 512MB core dump here.  The pessimization was mostly
    from an interaction of the misalignment with IO_DIRECT.  It increased
    the number of i/o's for each chunk by a factor of 5 (3 writes and 2
    read-before-writes instead of 1 write).
