Subject: [PATCH 36/49] libext2fs: allow clients to read-ahead metadata

This patch adds to libext2fs the ability to pre-fetch metadata
into the page cache in the hopes of speeding up libext2fs' clients.
There are two new library functions -- the first allows a client to
readahead a list of blocks, and the second is a helper function that
uses that first mechanism to load group data (bitmaps, inode tables).

e2fsck will employ both of these methods to speed itself up.
