The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: readahead: move the random read case to bottom
From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@xxxxxxxxx>
Split all readahead cases, and move the random one to bottom.
No behavior changes.
This is to prepare for the introduction of context readahead, and make it
easy for inserting accounting/tracing points for each case.
