I don't think this comment belongs into the function header.  It's
already present in the right place anyway, so it can just be removed.

struct xfs_buftarg, please.

I'd add an

        ASSERT(ret < 0 || ret == count);

here to make sure we don't get problems due to changes in the core
direct I/O code.
