'openflags=' when used in a Run Definition (RD) does not work for raw i/o.

The sd=sd1,.....,openflags=xxx or fsd=fsd1,....,openflags=xxx parameter allows you to pass extra options like O_DSYNC to the Unix open() function for each specific SD or FSD. 

You can also use 'openflags=' as an RD parameter to override all previous settings. However, this only works for file system workloads (FSD) and not for raw i/o workloads (SD). This is clearly an oversight, it should work for both.
