from fs/buffer.c:
/*
  * There are no bdflush tunables left.  But distributions are
  * still running obsolete flush daemons, so we terminate them here.
  *
  * Use of bdflush() is deprecated and will be removed in a future 
kernel.
  * The `pdflush' kernel threads fully replace bdflush daemons and this 
call.

I'd upgrade whatever package update comes from. I can't seem to find 
that binary around on some of my systems, what distribution and version 
are you running? Maybe it's time to upgrade.

Someone else might know specifics :)
