If everyone's patches all get merged up we'd expect that this facility be
migrated over to use Martin Peschke's statistics infrastructure.

That's not a thing you should do now, but it would be a useful test of
Martin's work if you could find time to look at it and let us know whether
the infrastructure which he has provided would suit this application,
thanks.

Hi, Martin is doing a great job, thanks.

I have read about its doc. It should be suitable for various
readahead numbers. And it seems a trivial work to port to it :)

Wu, great :) If you got questions (e.g. on how to setup your statistics so
that the output looks quite compact) or more requirements (like an enhancement
of the code that accumulates numbers) feel free to get back to me.
Thanks, Martin
