Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Remove BKL from the bfs driver

Hi Andrew,

This removes quite a few instances of BKL usage in the bfs
driver. Given the purpose and the user base of this driver,
I do not believe that a finer-granularity lock than the big
fat filesystem-wide mutex I have implemented here is needed.

Please consider.

Thanks,
Dmitri
