So your argument is that we should always pass down every unaligned

decision on whether to ignore the unaligned request?
Yes, I agree with Peter as to this.
Okay, I'll work on patches. I think it counts as bug fix, so appropriate
even if I miss soft freeze (I'd still like to get NBD write zero support
into 2.8, since it already missed 2.7, but that one is still awaiting
review with not much time left).
