Given that we have run into issues so much with it that's proably the better idea.

Currently I had this in the 3.3 queue, but in the worst case we might have to move this forward to 3.2. > The patches from (1,2) together with 2 tracing patches essential for > debugging (1) have been pushed to the "writeback-for-linus" branch: > > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/writeback-for-linus > > If no objections, I'll send a pull request to Linus soon.
