Subject: [patch 0/10] buffered write deadlock fix

The following set of patches attempt to fix the buffered write
locking problems (and there are a couple of peripheral patches
and cleanups there too).

This does pass the write deadlock tests that otherwise fail.

Has survived a few hours of fsx-linux on ext2 and 3.

Patches against 2.6.20-rc4. I didn't have the heart to attempt
to rebase them on -mm, at least until I get some feedback ;)

Thanks,
Nick
