Do mmap read-around when there are cached pages in the nearby 256KB

There is a failure case though: for a sequence of page faults at page
index 64*i+1, i=1,2,3,..., this heuristic will keep doing pointless
read-arounds.  Hopefully the pattern won't appear in real workloads.
Note that the readahead heuristic has similiar failure case.
