For what it's worth, I'm working on some changes to jfs that will use page->private for non-bufferhead usage for metadata, but I won't be using a generic writepage, so it's not an issue for me. mpage.c already assumes page->private implies bufferheads, so it's not completely generic. Would implementing this as nobh_write_full_page, to complement block_write_full_page, make sense?
