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
