Writeback: Writing Out Dirty Pages

IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-03-04

<braunr> and btw, here is a little update about my roadmap: while reading
  mcsim's patches, i've got to know libpager a bit more, and i think it's
  perfectly possible to add writeback throttling without a heavy rework
<youpi> good :)
<braunr> so i intend to work on that after the pager related patches (large
  store and neal's one) are merged
