    laptop-mode: Make flushes per-device

    One of the features of laptop-mode is that it forces a writeout of dirty
    pages if something else triggers a physical read or write from a device.
    The current implementation flushes pages on all devices, rather than only
    the one that triggered the flush. This patch alters the behaviour so that
    only the recently accessed block device is flushed, preventing other
    disks being spun up for no terribly good reason.

One way to fix it might be to change all the places that call
spin_lock(&bdi->wb_lock); to spin_lock_bh(&bdi->wb_lock); but I'm not
sure that's the right way.

I don't think Matthew Garrett has a bugzilla account?
