[PATCH 2/3] readahead: move the random read case to bottom

From: Wu Fengguang
Date: Sun Apr 12 2009 - 03:22:53 EST


Split all readahead cases, and move the random one to bottom.

No behavior changes.

This is to prepare for the introduction of context readahead,
and make it easy for inserting accounting/tracing points for each case.
