How come you're adding these includes?

+#define PAGES_BYTE(size) (((size) + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT)
+#define PAGES_KB(size)	 PAGES_BYTE((size)*1024)

Don't really like the names. Don't think they do anything for clarity, but
if you can come up with something better for PAGES_BYTE I might change my
mind ;) (just forget about PAGES_KB - people know what *1024 means)

Also: the replacements are wrong: if you've defined VM_MAX_READAHEAD to be
4095 bytes, you don't want the _actual_ readahead to be 4096 bytes, do you?
It is saying nothing about minimum, so presumably 0 is the correct choice.

Again, it is probably easier just to use the expanded version. Then the
reader can immediately say: ah, the next page on the LRU list (rather
than, maybe, the next page in the pagecache).
