Ok guys, I think I've taken Linus' suggestion to have buffer.c use its
own writepage a bit too far. This patch marks pages dirty when the
buffer head is marked dirty, and changes flush_dirty_buffers and
sync_buffers to use writepage instead of ll_rw_block. The idea is
to allow filesystems

The file corruption I reported on Dec 6 is still there in test13-pre3.
(I can only reproduce it easily with the ext2 online resizing patches,
but I really don't think it is caused by them)
The corruption happens if invalidate_buffers calls put_last_free() on
buffers that belong to mapped pages.

Furthermore, it also cannot work because it makes retransmissions

around this by just waiting for the original client SYN to get
retransmitted or something like this. I question whether that can
even work reliably.
