OK. The current readahead and mpage code is really designed just
for ext2-style filesystems. It was always expected that it would
have to grow as more sophisticated filesytems put demands upon it.
Your change is a perfectly sensible generalisation. The reiserfs
team have been making noises about lower-level readahead hooks as well,
and I think your patch largely addresses those. I shall ping them.
