Changes since v1:

* separate unbound workqueue for high-priority tasks

* account for inflight readahead to avoid denial-of-service

* limit concurrency for non-high-priority tasks (1 per CPU, same as aio)

* take IO priority of requesting process into account when in workqueue.

* process queued readahead in 2M chunks to help ensure fairness between
  multiple requests with few CPUs/workqueues.  Idle tasks get smaller
  256K chunks.

* stops readahead for idle tasks on read congestion

Will try to benchmark with Postgres when I get the chance.

Any other (Free Software) applications that might benefit from
lower FADV_WILLNEED latency?
