Subject: [PATCH v2 24/25] mm: Add large page readahead

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>

If the filesystem supports large pages, allocate larger pages in the
readahead code when it seems worth doing.  The heuristic for choosing
larger page sizes will surely need some tuning, but this aggressive
ramp-up seems good for testing.
