Hmm... The current readahead code does a load of crap in order to
determine whether or not the user is doing linear or random I/O. It may
be that the nfsd server with all its multi-threading and out-of-sequence
I/O is triggering the random I/O readahead code (which of course aims to
limit readahead).
