    Writeback/pdflush cleanup patch from Steven Augart
    
    * Exposes nr_pdflush_threads as /proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads, read-only.
    
      (I like this - I expect that management of the pdflush thread pool
      will be important for many-spindle machines, and this is a neat way
      of getting at the info).
    
    * Adds minimum and maximum checking to the five writable pdflush
      and fs-writeback  parameters.
    
    * Minor indentation fix in sysctl.c
    
    * mm/pdflush.c now includes linux/writeback.h, which prototypes
      pdflush_operation.  This is so that the compiler can
      automatically check that the prototype matches the definition.
    
    * Adds a few comments to existing code.
