Sounds fairly ugh, actually. It might be better to just implement fadvise().
O_STREAMING is really designed for large streaming writes; the current implementation only performs invalidation after each megabyte of I/O, so it would fail to do anything at all in the lots-of-medium-size-files case such as rsync.
Or use 2.6. It will take a while for the feature to usefully propagate into applications anyway...
