When direct-io falls back to buffered write, it will just leave the dirty data
floating about in pagecache, pending regular writeback.
But normal direct-io semantics are that IO is synchronous, and that it leaves
no pagecache behind.
So change the fallback-to-buffered-write code to sync the file region and to
then strip away the pagecache, just as a regular direct-io write would do.

Avoid memory copy on writes.
(This patch depends on fixes in patch 9 to follow.)
Although skb->len should not be set when working with linear skbuffs,
the skb->tail pointer maintained by skb_put/skb_trim is not relevant
to what happens when the skb_fill_page_desc function is called. This
issue was raised without comment in linux-kernel and netdev earlier
this month:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/446474/http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/45444/
So until there is something analogous to skb_put that works for
zero-copy write skbuffs, we will do what the other callers of
skb_fill_page_desc are doing.

This patch (as797) fixes device_add() in the driver core. It needs to
pay attention when the driver for a new device reports an error.
At the same time, since bus_remove_device() undoes the effects of both
bus_add_device() and bus_attach_device(), it needs to check whether
the bus_attach_device step failed.
