Another thing, your fprop_fraction_percpu() can he horribly expensive
due to using _sum() (and to a lesser degree the retry), remember that
this function is called for _every_ page written out.

Esp. on the mega fast storage (multi-spindle or SSD) they're pushing cpu
limits as it is with iops, we should be very careful not to make it more
expensive than absolutely needed.
