That's what I was afraid of.  Since we don't write the dirty blocks to
the kernel anymore, we don't really have much happening before someone
says they are about to commit.  In the old days, we were write()'ing
those buffers, and we had some delay and kernel calls in there.

Guess that idea is dead.
