Support remote log reading from ASMFD devices

When Oracle Database redo and archived log files are stored in ASM under Linux, and ASMFD is used as part of the ASM setup, IBM CDC agent is not able to read these logs remotely.
Oracle seems to recommend the use of ASMFD under Linux, as it "simplifies the configuration and management of disk devices" and "ejects any I/O requests that are invalid" (https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/OSTMG/GUID-E1E9DA6F-6E4B-427A-83AE-7F9DFCE068D9.htm).
Remote log reading decreases the load over the source database server by the replication, and supports the separation of duties between the database and replication administrators.
Please support the remote log reading from ASMFD devices in IBM CDC agent for Oracle Database.
Implementing such support should not be too difficult, as IBM CDC already supports remote log reading from ASM devices in other configurations.
