Re: [PATCH/RFC 2.6.20 1/2] fbdev, mm: Deferred IO support

This patch implements deferred IO support in fbdev. Deferred IO is a way to
delay and repurpose IO. This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite
and page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO. This
functionality is used by hecubafb.

Any updates on this? If there are no other concerns, it would be nice to
at least get this in to -mm for testing if nothing else.

Jaya, can you roll the fsync() patch in to your defio patch? There's not
much point in keeping them separate.
