Add hint on whether a read was served out of the page cache, or if it
hit media. This is useful for buffered async IO, O_DIRECT reads would
never have this set (for obvious reasons).

If the read hit page cache, cqe->flags will have IOCQE_FLAG_CACHEHIT
set.

Hmm. The point of this patch being ... what?
Just setting a newly introduced flag seems to be a bit pointless.
Unless it has some magic interaction with io_cqring_add_event().
But then that function would have had to have knowledge of that flag 
already, which would be ... odd.

Please clarify.

Cheers,

Hannes

Not sure I follow your concern here. The kernel doesn't use the flag,
we just set it. It's used to inform the application of whether or
not the given read was a cachehit, or if it had to be served by
media.
