resend--[PATCH] improve read ahead in kernel

[xtu4 <xiaobing.tu@intel.com>]

resend it, due to format error

Subject: [PATCH] when system in low memory scenario, imaging there is a mp3
  play, ora video play, we need to read mp3 or video file
  from memory to page cache,but when system lack of memory,
  page cache of mp3 or video file will be reclaimed.once read
  in memory, then reclaimed, it will cause audio or video
  glitch,and it will increase the io operation at the same
  time.
