You should have seen the first version! But after all the bugs were fixed
and the real world hit it, some spaghetti got in there.

JFS, hfs, hfsplus and ext2 are using it.
Unfortunately it's hard to use mpage_writepages() even in ext3's writeback
mode, because ext3_get_block() assumes that it is called with a transaction
open. Not impossible though I guess - use a different get_block() which
opens a transaction for itself... But only open it if the page isn't
already mapped to disk. (/me gets itchy fingers)
