This patch set is designed to submit the ordered writes list in bulk. This is a performance enhancement from the way we currently do it, which is submit->wait->submit->wait. Submitting them in bulk takes better advantage of the io elevator and vfs below us.
The first patch merely moves function gfs2_ordered_wait. The second patch implements the actual change.
