This code could be improved.

Previously the code is like this:
 -build_sit_entries()
 next_setp:
	for(start = 0; start < TOTAL_SEGS(sbi); start++)
		/*step#1 readahead all sit entries blocks*/
			if(start % SIT_ENTRY_PER_BLOCK == 0) {
				blk_addr = current_sit_addr(sbi, start);
				/* grab and submit_read_page */
			}
			if(start == TOTAL_SEGS(sbi) - 1)
				f2fs_submit_read_bio();
			continue;
		/*step#2 fill sit entries info*/
		/*step#3 cover sit entries with journal*/

But I think its weakness is that it will cost lots of memory to read 
ahead all sit entry pages when f2fs mount, and also it's serious waste 
that we read them again after these pages are released by VM when 
out of memory.

Agreed, this method could remove *order.
Shouldn't we add nrpages for readahead policy as VM?

nrpages point out expectation of caller, caller cloud control how many 
pages want to read this time. It solves the weakness of previous coed I 
give above.
