Hans any other case generally sucks, and at best works well until the
VM changes and then breaks.  The worst VM's I have seen are the home
spun cache management routines for compressing filesystems.   So
trying for a generic solution is very good.

I suspect it easier to work out the semantics needed for reiserfs and
xfs to do delayed writes in the page cache than to work out the
semantics needed for having to competing VM's...
