	new_index = mapping_align_start_index(mapping, index);
	if (new_index != index) {
		nr_to_read += index - new_index;
		index = new_index
	}

This needs to have a size of at least the minimum folio order size
so readahead can fill entire folios, not get neutered to the maximum
IO size the underlying storage supports.

This really doesn't need to care about min_nrpages. That rounding
can be done in the caller when the new size is returned.

Ditto.

Huh? If we have a folio, then the order is whatever that folio is,
otherwise we use min_order. What if the folio is larger than
min_order? Doesn't that mean that this:

may set up the incorrect readahead range because the folio order is
larger than min_nrpages?
