SubjectRe: [PATCH 09/12] mm/readahead: Align file mappings for non-DAX

Only those which are big enough. See __thp_get_unmapped_area():

if (off_end <= off_align || (off_end - off_align) < size)
return 0;

Executables are not the only files which benefit from being mapped
to an aligned address. If you can use a PMD to map a font file,
for example, that's valuable.
