Before this change speculative prefetcher was able to detect a stream
only if all of its accesses are perfectly sequential. It was easy to
implement and is perfectly fine for single-threaded applications.
Unfortunately multi-threaded network servers, such as iSCSI, SMB or
NFS usually have plenty of threads and may often reorder requests,
preventing successful speculation and prefetch.
This change allows speculative prefetcher to detect streams even if
requests are reordered by introducing a list of 9 non-contiguous
ranges up to 16MB ahead of current stream position and filling the
gaps as more requests arrive. It also allows stream to proceed
even with holes up to a certain configurable threshold (25%).
