So assuming I fix the refcounting issue in fs/ext4/page_io.c (which I
will do not dropping the page's refcount until after the workqueue
finishes its job), does your patch need changing, or is it a matter of
fixing the commit description?

In any case, this dragged got out, and it's late in -rc cycle for 3.0,
so I was planning on queuing this for the next merge window.  (Sorry
for that, this was mostly due to my not having enough time to really
dive into the issues involved.)
