Cover letter [PATCH 0/7] more writeback patches for 3.1

Hi,

These patches are mainly seperated out from the original IO-less writeback patchset. They are general useful as standalone improvements. This series is based on the write bandwidth patches posted at

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/12/69

They'll appear in this git branch after a while, and be posted in one single series for the next version.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/writeback.git fs-writeback
