Update of pdflush series, changes since last post:
o Change upper bound patch to include update of last_empty_jifs to throttle
thread creation to one per second.
o Change new sysctls to use CTL_UNNUMBERED per Andrew Morton
o Use proc_dointvec_minmax and tie bounds of min and max threads to
the current min/max. Otherwise the possible combinations of actual
threads makes my head hurt.
o Update Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt with the new entries
Peter W Morreale (2):
Add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Fix pdflush thread creation upper bound.
