Reiser4 should return error on ->readpages() for small files
built of tail items (fragments). However, I have found that
it takes place only in comments :/

So all applications (including splice), which call readahead
lead to unpredictable results.

I'll try to look through all reiser4 read paths in 1-2 weeks
and make corrections.

Thanks,
Edward.
