Subject: The state of the BKL-removal tree

The bkl-removal tree lives at:

  git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6.git bkl-removal

It has accumulated a fair amount of stuff at this point.  Lots of
pushdown work and a significant API change: the open() and fasync()
file_operations are now called without the big kernel lock.

This tree has been in linux-next since mid-May.  In the absence of
reasons to the contrary, my intent is to ask for this to be merged for
2.6.27.  Objections, anybody?
