The explanation describing the dependency to system read() calls for these two functions has been removed in ddfc2d9. And after more discussion about d69c404, we have concluded that adding more details makes them easier to understand. While on it, use the term "block read requests" (maybe found in cache) rather than "buffers fetched" and "buffer hits". Per discussion with Melanie Plageman, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Bertrand Drouvot and myself.
