We're not at that point yet, not at all :(
We probably could put in an algorithm that does that as
well, but the current patch consists mainly of a proof-
of-concept (read really stupid) readahead algorithm :)
The advantage of that algorithm however is that it doesn't
incur any extra disk seeks (only linear readahead inside
the swap area). The way kswapd swaps out things this might
also help with the readahead of tiled date, etc...
I will compile a new patch (against 2.1.130 again, since
2.1.131 contains mostly VM mistakes that I want reversed)
this weekend...
