A debugfs file named `readahead' is created according to advices from
J?rn Engel, Andrew Morton and Ingo Oeser. It yields to much better
readability than the preious /proc/vmstat interface :)
It reveals various read-ahead activities/events, and is vital to the testing.
Compile with 'Kernel hacking ---> Debug Filesystem' to enable it.
This is a trimmed down output on my PC:
