Can somebody VM-savvy please explain how on earth they expect something

Can you try something like this patch, Kenny?
The VM doesn't expect to have to rely on pdflush to write out pages
for it. ->writepage should be enough. Adding wakeup_pdflush here
actually could do the wrong thing for non-NFS filesystems if it
starts more writeback.
