It's not *gone* it's just moved into the kernel...
F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
1 0 5 1 15 0 0 0 bdflus SW ? 0:00 [bdflush]

Clearly it doesn't need the syscall interface, so as long as there's a way
to tune useful parameters the interface isn't needed. Don't know why I
thought I was doing stuff using that.
