Subject[patch] unneeded readpage in block_symlink
The new consistency checks in buffer.c are complaining about
block_symlink's ->readpage against an already uptodate
page.

I've also received a report of a dirty unmapped buffer outside
i_size with ext3. But that was against the rd.c driver, which
seems to be bust in 2.5. This will take some hunting down.
