 * Read-ahead context:

 * - f_ramax : current read-ahead maximum size.
 * - f_ralen : length of the current IO read block we tried to read-ahead.
 * - f_rawin : length of the current read-ahead window.
 *             if last read-ahead was synchronous then
 *                  f_rawin = f_ralen
 *             otherwise (was asynchronous)
 *                  f_rawin = previous value of f_ralen + f_ralen
 *
 * Read-ahead limits:
 * ------------------
 * MIN_READAHEAD   : minimum read-ahead size when read-ahead.
 * MAX_READAHEAD   : maximum read-ahead size when read-ahead.
 *
 * Synchronous read-ahead benefits:
 * --------------------------------
 * Using reasonable IO xfer length from peripheral devices increase system 
 * performances.
 * Reasonable means, in this context, not too large but not too small.
 * The actual maximum value is:
 *	MAX_READAHEAD + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE = 76k is CONFIG_READA_SMALL is undefined
 *      and 32K if defined (4K page size assumed).
 *
 * Asynchronous read-ahead benefits:
 * ---------------------------------
 * Overlapping next read request and user process execution increase system 
 * performance.
 *
 * Read-ahead risks:
 * -----------------
 * We have to guess which further data are needed by the user process.
 * If these data are often not really needed, it's bad for system 
 * performances.
 * However, we know that files are often accessed sequentially by 
 * application programs and it seems that it is possible to have some good 
 * strategy in that guessing.
 * We only try to read-ahead files that seems to be read sequentially.
 *
 * Asynchronous read-ahead risks:
 * ------------------------------
 * In order to maximize overlapping, we must start some asynchronous read 
 * request from the device, as soon as possible.
 * We must be very careful about:
 * - The number of effective pending IO read requests.
 *   ONE seems to be the only reasonable value.
 * - The total memory pool usage for the file access stream.
 *   This maximum memory usage is implicitly 2 IO read chunks:
 *   2*(MAX_READAHEAD + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) = 156K if CONFIG_READA_SMALL is undefined,
 *   64k if defined (4K page size assumed).
