Yes. I will do that. I am planning to add "nobh" support to ext3 ordered mode also, since its the default one. We need to modify generic interfaces like mpage_writepage(s) to keep track of bio count and make journal code wait for them etc. - at that point the "generic" code will no longer be generic. I am thinking of a way to do it *less* intrusively. At that point, we can make "nobh" default option.

I will send out resource consumption numbers once I complete my regression tests. Yep. I will update the changelog also.
