The way it currently looks in my tree ...
set_page_dirty(page) is a thin wrapper that calls folio_mark_dirty(folio).
folio_mark_dirty() calls a_ops->dirty_folio(mapping, folio) (which
returns bool).
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers() becomes filemap_dirty_folio()
__set_page_dirty_buffers() becomes block_dirty_folio()
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() becomes dirty_folio_no_writeback()
Now I look at it, maybe that last should be nowb_dirty_folio().
