  Hmm, looking at this again, I'm not sure this will work for NFS. It seems
to set mapping->backing_dev_info to its private backing dev info for
regular files while it leaves it intact for other inodes (e.g.
directories). I'm not sure why it does so but it seems its inodes end up on
two different BDI lists and thus they wouldn't be synced properly. Trond,
do I read the code properly?
  Also we definitely need to set *some* bdi in nfs_get_sb as otherwise sync
won't work for it.
