UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) add tracing for user initiated readahead requests
Track pages which undergo readahead and for each record which were actually consumed, via either read or faulted into a map. This allows userspace readahead applications (such as ureadahead) to track which pages in core at the end of a boot are actually required and generate an optimal readahead pack. It also allows pack adjustment and optimisation in parallel with readahead, allowing the pack to evolve to be accurate as userspace paths change. The status of the pages are reported back via the mincore() call using a newly allocated bit.
