Subject[PATCH 07/28] readahead: {MIN,MAX}_RA_PAGES
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.
