$0: Control drive readahead.
This hook tries to trade off the number of times we spin up a drive
to read for potentially wasted cache.
Drive readahead parameters:
DRIVE_READAHEAD_AC = Number of KB to speculatively read on AC.
Defaults to 256 KB.
DRIVE_READAHEAD_BAT = Number of KB to speculatively read on battery.
Defaults to 3072 KB.
