Do you have an urgent need for this? I was actually planning on sending

No, there's no urgent need for this. I was just following Willy's
recommendation from LSF.
Note that you also need to implement ->migratepage to not lose any
functionality if dropping ->writepage, and comeing up with a good
solution for that is what has been delaying the series.
Oh, I didn't realize that! I'll plan to drop this from our series for
now. Let us know if you need us to carry any patches for this.
Thanks!
Dropped it from the testing branch for now.
