Something that's always bothered me: Why don't we log the *amount* of
data that just failed writeback?

"XFS: writeback error on inode 63, offset 4096, length 8192, sector 27"

Now we'd actually have some way to work out that we've lost 8k worth of
data. OFC maybe the better solution is to wire up that inotify error
reporting interface that ext4 added a while back...?

This patch is pretty straightforward tho
