Use a minimal readahead size of 32KB instead of 16KB for the adaptive readahead.
The potential benefit(disk utilization in worst case doubles) is large, while
the potential panelty is small(wastes up to 32MB when thrashed/missed 1000 times).
This minimal value is only applied for sequential streams.
