The patch titled

     readahead: {MIN,MAX}_RA_PAGES

has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     readahead-minmax_ra_pages.patch

See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: readahead: {MIN,MAX}_RA_PAGES
From: Wu Fengguang <wfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


Define two convenient macros for read-ahead:
	- MAX_RA_PAGES: rounded down counterpart of VM_MAX_READAHEAD
	- MIN_RA_PAGES: rounded _up_ counterpart of VM_MIN_READAHEAD

Note that the rounded up MIN_RA_PAGES will work flawlessly with _large_
page sizes like 64k.
