SubjectRe: Severe I/O performance regression 2.6.6 to 2.6.7 or 2.6.8-rc3
	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.
