I'm now settled with:

-#define RA_FLAG_MISS 0x01 /* a cache miss occured against this file */
-#define RA_FLAG_INCACHE 0x02 /* file is already in cache */
+#define RA_FLAG_MISS (1UL<<31) /* a cache miss occured against this file */
+#define RA_FLAG_INCACHE (1UL<<30) /* file is already in cache */
+#define RA_FLAG_MMAP (1UL<<29) /* mmaped page access */
+#define RA_FLAG_NO_LOOKAHEAD (1UL<<28) /* disable look-ahead */
+#define RA_FLAG_EOF (1UL<<27) /* readahead hits EOF */

And still let the low bits hold ra_class values.
