It's not clear yet how we do it. Ideally "pktcdvd: improve BKL and
compat_ioctl.c usage" should find its way into -rc1 in some way, but
we need to reshuffle the BKL removal trees to make that go in nicely.

Where is your fixes tree? Maybe Frederic can take all BKL related
patches from that into one of his trees.
