Assuming the locking framework is pretty much the same as it was when I first implemented it (I haven't looked at the HAL code recently, sadly), then it already works for all HAL devices. This seems like the way to go. When we first did it, it was envisioned as a way to prevent two instances of similar apps from actually screwing around with devices (ie, no two apps trying to actually burn at the same time). Looking at it now, I don't really see any reason why apps shouldn't grab the lock immediately to indicate that they're the ones handling it.
