Try:
echo 40 500 64 256 0 >/proc/sys/vm/bdflush
once you want to return to the old behaviour:
echo 40 500 64 256 500 >/proc/sys/vm/bdflush killall -CONT kupdate
With this below additional patch you can avoid having to modify the bdflush sysctl and you can simply killall -STOP or killall -CONT kupdate to wake/stop it (as you can just do in 2.4.x).
