This is a set of simple patches to remove the big kernel lock in some remaining areas and introduce a Kconfig option which I'd like to have included in linux-next and get included in the 2.6.37 merge window.
I have a total of five topic branches, which together remove the BKL from all code except those modules which get marked as 'depends on BKL' in the final patch of this series. It's fine if maintainers want to add some of these patches to their own queue, as long as they all make it into linux-next.
