Well fsaio is restored, but there's now considerable doubt over it due to
the recent febril febrility.

How bad is the clash with the readahead patches?

Clashes with git-block are likely, too.

Bugfixes come first, so I will drop readahead and fsaio and git-block to get
this work completed if needed - please work agaisnt mainline.
