Does that cache_hint really helps here? 
Have you tested without? If so, whats the difference?

Yes, you are right.

* [pbs-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Add cache for live-restore

Adds a mmap-backed buffer (as suggested by Dietmar to avoid memory starvation)
of 64+256 MiB for accessing chunks from PBS. Helps to accelerate live-restore.

Quantitative benchmarking appears really hard, variance between live-restore
runs is really high for some reason (both time-to-desktop and time-to-finish).
On average it seems to be between equal and up to 30% faster - again, with a lot
of variance between runs.

In testing with a Windows VM I saw cache hit rates of about 25% or higher, so
the cache is certainly used, but there seem to be too many other factors in
play...
