The code is available, sans documentation, here:
http://www.moblin.org/downloads/super-read-ahead-002

I made a post asking about clarification of the usage (when do you run
generate_filelist?  How do you actually use the program?) but haven't
gotten a response.  It seems a bit different from standard readahead,
and has a kernel patch to go with it.

srpms are available that people want to get into Fedora rawhide:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464045.  The package
itself should be trivial, aside from the kernel issue of course.  A
post on the redhat mailing lists brings up some of the issues with
this: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-October/msg00273.html

Cheers,
