After more testing, most of my platforms which runs at HS400/HS200 mode
shows nearly no differences with the readahead ranging from 128 to 1024.
Yet just a board shows a performance drop now. Highly suspect it's eMMC
chip depends. I would recommand leave it to the BSP guys to decide which
readahead value is best for their usage.
