Subject: [PATCH 0/9] readahead stats/tracing, backwards prefetching and more (v2)

Andrew,

This is what the bit fields look like :)

Changes since v1:
- use bit fields: pattern, for_mmap, for_metadata, lseek
- comment the various readahead patterns
- drop boot options "readahead=" and "readahead_stats="
- add for_metadata
- add snapping to EOF

 [PATCH 1/9] block: limit default readahead size for small devices
 [PATCH 2/9] readahead: snap readahead request to EOF
 [PATCH 3/9] readahead: record readahead patterns
 [PATCH 4/9] readahead: tag mmap page fault call sites
 [PATCH 5/9] readahead: tag metadata call sites
 [PATCH 6/9] readahead: add /debug/readahead/stats
 [PATCH 7/9] readahead: add vfs/readahead tracing event
 [PATCH 8/9] readahead: basic support for backwards prefetching
 [PATCH 9/9] readahead: dont do start-of-file readahead after lseek()
