Yeah something like this would be fine (and welcome). And we can
remove the XXX comment in there too. I would suggest 64 being a
reasonable value simply because that's what direct IO does.

Implementation-wise, why not just break "len" into chunks in the
top level function rather than add branches all down the call
chain?
