Because write_bandwidth's unit is bumped from bytes/s to pages/s,
so that it can express much higher bandwidth.
I've updated the patch again, and will submit more fixes tomorrow.

Subject: writeback: prevent bandwidth calculation overflow
Date: Thu Nov 18 12:55:42 CST 2010
On 32bit kernel, bdi->write_bandwidth can express at most 4GB/s.
However the current calculation code can overflow when disk bandwidth
reaches 800MB/s. Fix it by using "long long" and div64_u64() in the
calculations.
And further change its unit from bytes/second to pages/second.
That allows up to 16TB/s bandwidth in 32bit kernel.
