The objective of the series - reducing writes from reclaim - is
met with filesystem writes from reclaim reduced to 0 with reclaim
in general doing less work. ext3, ext4 and xfs all showed marked
improvements for fs_mark in this configuration. btrfs looked worse
but it's within the noise and I'd expect the patches to have little
or no impact there due it ignoring ->writepage from reclaim.

My bad, I accidentally looked at an old report for btrfs based on
older patches. In the report posted with all patches applied, the
performance of btrfs does look better but as the patches should make
no difference, it's still in the noise.
