Subject: [patch 0/6] mm: bdi: updates

This is a series from Peter Zijlstra, with various updates by me. The
patchset mostly deals with exporting BDI attributes in sysfs.

Should be in a mergeable state, at least into -mm.

Thanks for picking these up Miklos!

While they do not strictly depend upon the /proc/<pid>/mountinfo patch I
think its good to mention they go hand in hand. The mountinfo file gives
the information needed to associate a mount with a given bdi for non
block devices.

More precisely /proc/<pid>/mountinfo is only needed to find mounts for
a given BDI (which might not be a very common scenario), and not the
other way round.

But both patches are useful, and they are even more useful together ;)
