On MMC stack, data tagging is used for all writes which has REQ_META flag set. On EXT4, however, currently REQ_META is set only for read. This patch adds the capability mark a meta-data buffer with set_buffer_meta during meta data write. During submit_bh, this information is used to set REQ_META flag.
