This patchset makes the page ops make a lot more sense to me now. I
very much like the way that the new ->get_folio ->put_folio functions
split the responsibilities for setting up the page cach write and
tearing it down. Thank you for cleaning this up. :)

(I would still like hch or willy to take a second look at this, however.)
