I looked more into the fuse/sshfs issue and it looks even more
borked to me.  AFAICS in the fuse case posix_fadvise effectively
turns into a blocking read. :(

On the bright side, the Linux read-ahead code handles jumps between
two streams much better than expected.

So I won't push this patch anymore for now.
I think I'll ask linux-kernel if it really is expected to block with
fuse.
I'll try if increasing the Linux read-ahead size from default will
help remove the occasional stuttering I'm seeing (and I really
should check if this affects only the badly muxed files).
Maybe I'll have a look at getting -cache to work with multiple
streams...
