Hmm.  I see what's going on here, but it's confusing.   Why is
__readahead_batch() decrementing the readahead count at the start,
rather than at the end?

At the very least it needs a comment about why nr_pages is calculated this way.

What's wrong with ap->pages[i]->index?  Are we trying to wean off using ->index?
