We could change file_vma::fault() (in mmu.cc) to instead of using size = page_size, use something higher, but I think this would still generate - through all the templates - separate 4K reads. We could check that by forcing map_populate (e.g., in map_file() in mmu.cc, unconditionally do the populate_vma). I'm worried that even then, we would get 4K reads, not anything bigger, because the population code loops over pages. But it's worth trying. I think (?) what the existing ZFS code does is to have the ZFS code read a lot of the file into its own memory pages, and then some code just points to those pages on a page fault, but I still haven't found where this code actually is.
