Hi Thomas.

Refactor the page-write handler for deferred I/O. Drivers use the
function to let fbdev track written pages of mmap'ed framebuffer
memory.

I like how the comments got a brush up and a little more info was added.
But I do not see the point of the refactoring - the code is equally
readable before and after - maybe even easier before (modulus the
improved comments).

FYI I'm going to move the locking into the track-page helper, which makes the code more readable.

Best regards
Thomas


But if you consider it better keep it. Again just my thoughts when
reading the code.

v2:
	* don't export the helper until we have an external caller
