[PATCH 00/10] readahead stats/tracing, backwards prefetching and more (v3)

[Wu Fengguang]

Andrew,

This introduces the per-cpu readahead stats, tracing, backwards prefetching,
fixes context readahead for SSD random reads and does some other minor changes.

Changes since v2:
- use per-cpu counters for readahead stats
- make context readahead more conservative
- simplify readahead tracing format and use __print_symbolic()
- backwards prefetching and snap to EOF fixes and cleanups

Changes since v1:
- use bit fields: pattern, for_mmap, for_metadata, lseek
- comment the various readahead patterns
- drop boot options "readahead=" and "readahead_stats="
- add for_metadata
- add snapping to EOF
