This appears to be part of the changes introduced in the 2.6.32 upstream kernel. Basically, the storage write-back subsystem has been rewritten, and the process names have been changed. When pages need to be flushed to the disk, processes named "flush-#" will be spawned. When the flush finishes, the processes should cease.
