Hi Matthew,

What I wanted here is like do_page_cache_ra(), but do_page_cache_ra()
is defined in mm/internal.h only for internal use.
So, I used it, because we already checked the i_size boundary on our own.
Actually, I wanted to detour the internal readahead mechanism using
page_cache_ra_unbounded() to generate cluster size aligned read requests.
Plus, page_cache_sync_readahead() is not good for our situation,
it might end up with cluster misaligned reads which trigger internal
duplicated cluster reads.
