Review Comment:
   I think we should move the Context.MERGE check to be the first one, because 
when you merge segments you certainly always want to read the files with 
sequential advise (although the actual access may be random to a certain 
degree), because POSIX_MADV_SEQUENTIAL  tells in its documentation: "Hence, 
pages in this region can be aggressively read ahead, and **may be freed soon 
after they  are accessed**."
