I did wonder about the very first hunk of Peter's patch, where the
mapping->private_lock is unlocked earlier now in try_to_free_buffers,
before the clear_page_dirty. I'm not at all familiar with that area,
I wonder if Jan has looked at that change, and might be able to say
whether it's good or not (earlier he worried about his JBD changes,
but they wouldn't be implicated if just 2.6.18+Peter's gives trouble).
