Peter Zijlstra 3e26c149c3 mm: dirty balancing for tasks
Based on ideas of Andrew:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=102912915020543&w=2

Scale the bdi dirty limit inversly with the tasks dirty rate.
This makes heavy writers have a lower dirty limit than the occasional writer.

Andrea proposed something similar:
  http://lwn.net/Articles/152277/

The main disadvantage to his patch is that he uses an unrelated quantity to
measure time, which leaves him with a workload dependant tunable. Other than
that the two approaches appear quite similar.
