                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
shouldn't this rather be something like
                MT_mmap_tab[i].random += preload * (advise == BUF_WILLNEED);
?
Otherwise (i.e., in the current case), both BATpreload_() & _BATpreload()
only increment MT_mmap_tab[i].random, but never decrement it, right?
