A quick test on ext3 looks good; ext4 still seems to run away on sync :(

But I need to be a bit more methodical, and test a few more filesystems; will
let you know.

I'm not familiar enough with all the new writeback code; does this mean that a
sync will return as soon as any new IO is queued post-sync?  That seems odd if
so - but maybe I misunderstand.

Thanks,
-Eric

Hm maybe I spoke too soon, had a couple runs on ext3 that looked good but now
it's been syncing for many minutes ...

(this is the test where I create 4G files in a loop, let it go for a while,
then time sync - on a 16g box)
