I collected the requested data by logging both writeback_percent and
writeback_rate_debug every second. Every second also the cumulative CPU
usage of the bcache_writebac task is logged (as shown by ps -efw),
showing that the task is burning CPU cycles.
Both the collecting script and the log file can be found here:

As mentioned before, the kernel is Fedora kernel
kernel-3.14.4-200.fc20.x86_64
