Some system(like android) will turbo read during startup via expanding the
readahead window and then set it back to normal(128kb as usual). However, some
files in the system process context will keep to be opened since it is opened
up and has no chance to sync with the updated value as it is almost impossible
to change the files attached to the inode(processes are unaware of these things)
We sync ra->ra_pages with bdi->ra_pages when read. Furthermore, in consideration
of the scenario of eio and fadvise(...,POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL).We introduce a
seq_read_fact to record the factors of above two cases.

Hang on, you're saying that the _only_ way to do turbo-read is the way
that userspace currently does it, and userspace cannot be modified,
only the kernel? I think somebody has their priorities wrong!

No, this is far too complicated.

How about making VM_READAHEAD_PAGES a variable? Provide a kernel boot
parameter to alter the default setting. Userspace can then restore the
usual value later in boot?

Or make it settable in Kconfig?

I don't think so. The scenario I gave before is a dynamic process,
can't be solved via menuconfig thing.

Any further comments on this commit? In response to previous comments,
static parameter configuration can NOT solve the problem, as more
systems would like to adjust the IO behaviour(via bdi not per file)
from userspace.
