Actually, it's in v6.2 cifs and I just move it in the patch where I copy the
afs writepages implementation into cifs. afs got it in 2007 when I added
write support[1] and I suspect I copied it from cifs. cifs got it in 2005
when Steve added writepages support[2]. I think he must've got it from
fs/mpage.c and the comment there is prehistoric.
