This patch-set makes sysv file-system stop using the VFS '->write_supers()'
call-back and the '->s_dirt' superblock field because I plan to remove them
once all users are gone.

Hi Andrew,

would you please pick this patch-set as well? I also sent you an update
for hfs and hfsplus file-systems today - found a bug while doing some
more testing. Also, I sent UFS changes today, very similar. Most
probably no one will reply and I hope you would pick them as well.

The issue Alan raised around the superblock timestamp is still up in
the air.  I guess he's a slow typist ;)

My take is "no, we don't need to do that any more" - surely all Linux
systems have a functional hardware clock.  But the changelog should be
updated to describe and justify the decision.
