linux-next: manual merge of the akpm-current tree with the block tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:

  mm/readahead.c

between commit:

  fd0ec96ec35d ("readahead: use limited read-ahead to satisfy read")

from the block tree and commits:

  16681dc9dd92 ("mm/readahead: pass readahead_control to force_page_cache_ra")
  f65bd470e7ed ("mm/readahead: add page_cache_sync_ra and page_cache_async_ra")

from the akpm-current tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
