Dear all,

I've finally stabilized the dirty throttling V6 control algorithms
with good behavior in all the tests I run, including low/high memory
profiles, HDD/SSD/UKEY, JBOD/RAID0 and all major filesystems. It took
near two months to redesign and sort out the rough edges since V5,
sorry for the long delay!

It will take several more days to prepare the patches. Before that I'd
like to release a combined patch for 3rd party testing and some test
results for early evaluations:

Expect more introductions tomorrow :)

Thanks,
Fengguang
