Thomas, you're obviously right, it's not even worth discussing this.
The 6 patches I posted (and my version is the only one that includes all
the outstanding fixes) have to be applied. Than we can think about the
rest.

Rik's two patches (writeback-highmem and writeback_nr_scanned) should be
applied too since they're obviously right too (and they're completely
orthogonal with our 6). Rik's 2/2 looked more like an hack and it
shouldn't be applied.
