I took the 2.6.6-bk7 image, and replaced mm/readahead.c and mm/vmscan.c from the 2.6.6-bk6 image (just those two files), and the read ahead error has vanished. However, the kernel panic'ed when reading a 16gb file. It may be related to an ongoing issue with pci-x and scsi error recovery on the x86_64, so until I get into the office, I will not be able to see what's on the console. So clearly the code in readahead.c and vmscan.c in -bk7 is the source of one regression. I'll keep looking at the second bug in the morning. Thanks to all for the pointers on where to look.
