Subject: [PATCH 0/6] kill .ioctl file_operation

This removes the .ioctl file operation from all the
remaining users that are in today's linux-next
tree.

I'd like to have this added to linux-next to make
sure we don't get any new users and we can seamlessly
apply the final patches for this in 2.6.36.

The intention behind removing the .ioctl operation
is to be able to remove the big kernel lock (BKL)
from the ioctl system call.

Ideally, maintainers of the code in question should
just apply the respective patches to their -next
tree so we can simply apply the final patch removing
the definition of .ioctl.

	Arnd
