I thought you wanted it called ractl instead of rac? That's what I've
been using in new code.

We do have readahead_count() if this is useful information to be logging.

Not entirely sure that it's worth having the two functions separated any more.

I thought with the new API we didn't need to do this kind of thing
any more? ie no matter whether fscache is configured in or not, it'll
submit the I/Os.
