Merge branch 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
writeback: check for registered bdi in flusher add and inode dirty
writeback: add name to backing_dev_info
writeback: add some debug inode list counters to bdi stats
writeback: get rid of pdflush completely
writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data
writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_info
writeback: get rid of generic_sync_sb_inodes() export
