Why do we need to test both uptodate and dirty?  Surely we only need to
test the dirty bit?  How can a !uptodate block ever be marked as dirty?

More generally, I think open-coding this is going to lead to confusion.
We need wrappers like 'iop_block_dirty()' and 'iop_block_uptodate()'.
(iop is still a bad name for this, but nobody's stepped up with a better
one yet).
