Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] BKL: Remove BKL from default_llseek()

Complete list of offenders I can find

Stuff that just doesn't look like it can work and ought to be marked
BROKEN as it must have been non-working for ages.

drivers/scsi/osst
drives/s390/char/s390tape
arch/frv/kernel/sysctl.c
arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c

Stuff that looks trivial to salvage and works if you don't pread/write I
imagine

drivers/sbus/char/flash.c

Bits in staging

rt2860
vt6656

plus some obvious mega abusers that will need cleaning up anyway in that
area.
