 * control. For example, when the device is completely stalled due to some error
 * conditions, or when there are 1000 dd tasks writing to a slow 10MB/s USB key.

 * more (rather than completely block them) when the bdi dirty pages go high.

 * - starving fast devices
 * - piling up dirty pages (that will take long time to sync) on slow devices
 *
 * The bdi's share of dirty limit will be adapting to its throughput and
