2.3.9-pre7 can rather badly damage filesystems, because block_dev.c does
buffer-cache access without the kernel lock held.

i suspect that this patch will clash with David's cool buffer-cache
patches - but i've just trashed one of my filesystems so i suppose people
want to apply it ... Maybe we want to add the -DANGEROUS flag again? :)
