Could perhaps use round_up here.

I'm wondering about this. We treat every speculative faultahead as a
hit, whether or not userspace will actually touch that page.

What's the effect of this? To cause the amount of physical readahead
to increase? But if userspace is in fact touching the file in a sparse
random fashion, that is exactly the wrong thing to do?
