Re: checkpointer continuous flushing - V16

Hello Andres,

I'm running tests on various settings, I'll send a report when it is done.
Up to now the performance seems as good as with the previous version.

I did notice the mismatched documentation.

I think I would appreciate comments to understand why/how the ringbuffer 
is used, and more comments in general, so it is fine if you improve this 
part.

Minor details:

"typedefs.list" should be updated to WritebackContext.

"WritebackContext" is a typedef, "struct" is not needed.


I'll look at the code more deeply probably over next weekend.
