Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] msync improvements

These two patches are improvements on the implementation of the msync
system call.  To give some context, I found them while working on
the implementation of a persistent dirty bitmap.

Paolo Bonzini (2):
  msync: support syncing a small part of the file
  msync: start async writeout when MS_ASYNC
